Beer Chronicles: My Reluctant Path to Embracing a World of Brews
I have never been an avid lover of beer, but then when you live in a world dominated by so many beer lovers it is hard not to be a part of it. I grew up in a family where drinking is seen as a taboo. Therefore I had a negative outlook towards it from the start. But then as I grew older it started to fade away.Though my negative outlook has faded away, I am still not a beer lover and I don't take it much. But once in a while you just have to give in and join the crowd.
I'd initially planned on buying a beer today and unwinding, but then things didn't go as planned so instead I'll be sharing a few of my experiences with Beer.
My first time taking Beer
I remember this day like it was just yesterday. I was in my first year of University and despite all prayers to get good roommates I was unlucky. I can't really say I was unlucky cause I only had one bad roommate (let me not talk about my friend who was the only good boy in his room). He was in his final year, and he was quite the character. It seemed he had a lot of money cause he was always attending parties, drinking, smoking, and I wasn't sure, but I won't put it past him to do drugs. I don't know what his academic standing was, but I assumed he wasn't the brightest student.
Anyways, one day I was in the room just chilling and scrolling through my phone when he called me and asked me to joined him. I rejected the offer politely but he kept on insisting. And that was when my curiosity started to kick in. I decided to just give it a shot. And I walked up to take a sip.
Damn, it was so so bitter. I nearly spit it out, but I didn't want to make a mess so I swallowed it. There was also this little heat in my chest as it went down. I started to regret taking it. I refused to take another sip. I told him I was satisfied with the one I'd taken and he started laughing at me.
Later on I realised I had a sweet aftertaste in my mouth. And I realized where it came from. And that was how I lost my beer virginity
Nowadays I hardly take beer but once in a while I have a meet up with friends and there's no way that there won't be beer. I always ask for juice as well though, so I won't be the only one not drinking something. I take a few sips and sometimes a cup, but that's it.
There was this night I took above a cup and everything went blurry. I can't really remember but my friends said I wasn't behaving like my usual self. I don't even want to mention the things they told me I did. The last thing I remember from the night is taking this picture.
From that day I told myself I wouldn't get drunk ever again. So I am extra cautious with my drinking. But I must admit it's usually fun when I go out with friends, even if it's just to hang out drink and unwind.
