If you guys are saying beer taste like piss then you are drinking the wrong beer. Maybe you should try some German or micro brews (Full Sail Pale Ale, ZiegenBock, Warsteiner, etc). Drinking Coors Light, Miller Light, and Bud Light isn't the best representation of beer (actually probably some of the worse beers). I drink too much sometimes on the weekends which I plan on cutting back after New Years. Anyways, when I first tried beer it didn't taste that good at all. After you age and try some decent brands then you will realize it isn't too bad (actually taste very good with some brands). Eat a nice cooked steak with a good beer and you are in heaven. Just stick in the 4-6 beer range and you won't get too drunk. Once you hit 8-12 on up range that is when things start getting blurry. I play extremely well at CoD though after a few beers but if I get too drunk then my stats start falling.
Since we are talking about drugs then might as well say Marijuana should be legalized. You don't swerve when you drive and there are actual studies that say your driving improves when high ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z5jkYvKscw ). You can't overdose from it which makes it basically the safest drug there is. Sure people freak out or have allergic reactions (go to hospital) but they don't die. If eaten then there are very few harmful effects on the body.
