(231 posts)Chablis, Chardonnay, or gin. I didn't really drink until i realized how my body couldn't handle wheat/gluten until about 5 years ago, with a diagnosis. I feel like I have been making up for lost time and doing what 20+ years olds do. I am over 70 years of age and it is my cholesterol, and other blood tests that is now causing me health problems. I feel like I am just making up for lost time, as a teenager and a young 20 to 30 year old, beer and scotch/whiskey, it always made me feel sick. Now, I can drink, but it is adversely affecting my health, while I am enjoying myself. What to do?

(54,403 posts)Although I live in Germany, and am in Belgium once a week (like now, as fate would have it), I have hated, still hate, and will always hate the taste of beer. Like lima beans, avocados, whiskey, and split pea soup, I understand that many people do like it, and I have nothing against that--just as long as I don't have to partake. I absolutely despise the taste of it, and gag whenever I even smell it.

(115,727 posts)On a hot day if the beer is really cold I can tolerate a half-glass (before it starts getting warm) but otherwise I'd rather drink something else. I don't like lima beans, red onions or Brussels sprouts, either.

Actually, I discovered in a college biology lab experiment that I am a "double taster." People like me can't tolerate bitter tastes very well. Sour tastes are pretty bad for me, too, but bitter is worse. What tastes mildly bitter to most people is repugnantly bitter to me. I don't drink beer or coffee, and hate lemonade. Can't stand liver, Brussels sprouts, or other foods with a bitter taste.
Wish that I had known this as a child when I was accused of being a "picky eater." Not my fault; it's biological. But I have learned to tolerate a few things over the years, like lime beans and peas, if they are in a soup or other dish with other flavors to counteract them. I think that we double tasters are about 25% of the population.

(115,727 posts)Anything in the cabbage family, ick. Raw onions, ick. Most beer, ick. It does seem to be genetic, as my brother has the same loathing of onions in particular. But I do like coffee as long as it isn't super strong, like espresso.
