The only beers I won't drink are light strength, medium strength or a beer that is otherwise just the worst.

A couple years ago, a friend of mine turned 21 - drinking age is 18 over here, but we still do 21st birthday parties because of Americanisation. They had an open bar - so I made my way down the bar tap. Tooheys, Coopers, Carlton, Reschs, VB - all of these Australian beers. And every time, I would neck the beer. Just scull that shit.

Now I had already drank like 5 beers at the time that my story takes place. But you can be assured that if it was a more bearable beverage, I would have been sent to hold my own.

So I down these five drinks. Some of them go down easy. Others are a bit of a struggle. But they're all down the hatch.

So in comes drink #6, XXXX Gold. It's a light beer from Queensland, it's mid or light strength and it tastes like fucking garbage. It's a dropkick beer that only old alcohol-ruined fogeys drink, or that Garbo redneck trash drink.

I have a schooner full of it. 425 ml of this beer. And I down it.

But that weak, stale, pissy taste hits the end of my tongue like a gag reflex, and to my continued shame and embarassment, I tilt my head to the side and I puke.

I've puked on a fair few beers due to over consumpton. But on very few beers have Inpuked on solely the taste. XXXX Gold is that beer for me.
