Serious Question from a new drinker

I sure hope so or I could be in trouble. In my potential defense, I do only indulge in such after grueling manual labor type tasks about the yard and such.

One of the people in the discussions of this topic I saw online (yes I googled before asking swami-dave) was "No real man ever wants to put the neck of Mike's Hard ANYTHING near his lips."
LOL.

it would probably be o.k. as long as it isn't made from fuzzy lemons :amaz.
i always play it extremely safe & only drink "liquor" [lik-HER] . no worries about another mans "hard stuff" being near my lips that way

Sure. I've had a few, but they've always been leftovers from parties... and all the manly beer was gone.. and no-one was around to witness it. I've never actually bought any. Oddly enough, most of the time I see women drinking them.
If you're concerned about the "manliness" of a drink you should probably go with your first instinct and avoid it.... unless there's nothing left in the fridge and then anything up to and including mouthwash is an acceptable alcoholic beverage.
On the topic of "manly" drinks.... I find myself more and more pissed off lately when I saunter up to the bar and ask for a Budweiser and the bartender hands me a Bud Light. WTF? In response to his question "what'll you have?" I clearly state "gimme a Bud". Nowhere is the word "light" mentioned. When I slide the now opened Bud Light back in his direction usually I get "the look" that I've wasted one of his precious beers. More troubling is the response "I'm not sure if we have any, hold on a second..." WTF? It's the most popular beer in the entire world and he's not sure if he has any? Usually I see the bartender digging deep down into his cooler and eventually producing a Budweiser, but then the "born on" date is usually months old and the beer has turned skunkier than I'd like it. There always seems to be an abundance of MGD 64, Miller Lite, Michelob Ultra, etc., etc. WTF happened to society that getting anything other than a fresh light beer is cumbersome. If I wanted a beer that helped me lose weight I'd drink it at the gym, not the bar. Rant over.

Stop drinking that pee water, drink real brews that are full power! I haven't had a mass marketed beer in.....well, I can't remember that far back.

Well, see, my deal is that I have never ever ever been a drinker...Not until just recently, like, 3 months. I'm still in that early "Give me the gay stuff" place where I want stuff that tasts like koolaid rather than real drinks. I'm just not "there" with beer yet...but my sister enticed me to try a Mike's, and I really liked it...
So anyway, yeah, I got to wondering about how acceptable it was for me to drink that stuff...
But, for the record, manliness or not, I'm not out to prove anything to anyone, so I'll drink whatever I want...just want to know where I stand
Not saying I'll never move on to beer...but in my drinking life, I'm still a teenager sneaking a bartles and james from mom's fridge.
For now, I'm fine with being a girl drink drunk:

Another nugget of wisdom. I'll be quoting this one in the future.

As Ears pointed out, stop drinking that American 'Lager' bullpiss. Hell, it's not even 'merican owned anymore.
Mike's &%@$ Lemonade is a refreshing tasty drink as is Smirnoff ICE if you want to go down that road. Not sure if they stock it in your area, it's kind of hard to find drink sometimes here in the Bay Area but it was everywhere in the PNW, look for something called Hornsbys. If sweet not alcohol tasting stuff is what your looking for, the Hornsbys will hit the spot as will the Smirnoff ICE. Please just don't tell us your drinking ZIMA.
Real men drink Yukon Jack.
Yes, but you didn't get bitten by any snakes, right? YJ is excellent snake bite preventative.
It's also been known to scare away owls.

First drinking experience was "Two Dogs". Kinda like Mike's. Not too bad, no longer manufactured though. Then I moved to Corona. Hated it. I call it Mexican donkey piss. Next was Bud. Eh...it's beer and it'll get you drunk..eventually. Then came vodka. Vodka was my friend. Drank it straight, mixing is for wimps. And then Jose came to the party. Jose :fbomb 'd everything up. Jose convienced me to stop drinking. There's only so many times that you want to get slobbering, fist fighting, wake up in another county drunk.

I can still remember the last time me and Jose were drinking together...almost dropped my very young niece into the camp fire. She's now married.

Just picked up two gallons. As far as drinks, if you're gonna go with ANY of these frufru drinks just put it in a red solo cup. I'm with Jamie on a lot of this except nothing has convinced me to quit. I've been convinced to not buy tequila, Seagrams 7, and Wild Turkey but that's about it. Oh yeah, I haven't bought a fifth in about 7 years. (When you're putting down a fifth in 45 minutes and just getting started you'll start to realize you may have an issue.) Steve, I hear what you're saying but you cannot hold a lemonade, smirnoff ice, zima, bud lime, etc in your hands and not be looked at as a little "quar". "Quar" is different than "queer". It means he ain't gay, but he's a little "off". If the urge comes to have one of these cocktails, just stick it in a red solo cup and no one will be any the wiser. My recommendation is to try a few mixed drinks that will give you a different taste than beer but are still respectable. Warning: Be careful when mixing. Your intent may be to mix it light but eventually, with 100% certainty, you'll flip the ratios around and end up falling asleep on your deck while it's raining. Try a whiskey sour, vodka/oj, or even some spiced rum. I personally prefer to go the Everclear route when wanting something a little different but I don't recommend doing that in your current pre-pubescent stage. As mentioned here, stay away from Jose. I don't care what he says, he ain't your friend.
