It was barely a sip, but it was an awful sip of room temperature Pabst Blue Ribbon I had while reffing a Beer Pong game at the University of Kansas. I promptly swore off beer forever (even if I didn't have a moral objection) until a buddy bought me a Corona, appropriately, in Juarez, Mexico. My first beer wasn't a full beer.

I have never had a full bottle, just sips of the drink's of friends. It's way better when you drink a full bottle! I love the bitter, sweet, fermented taste! And it's so bubble-y! AND, it comes with so many different feelings. First I was tingly, then warm, then hyper, now I am calm and relaxed....im just a one women party!

He just did it a little faster than he did for your story. But I'm glad that you've joined the ranks. @Roger: I love hearing stories of Jesus turning something that once trapped a person into something that can be used to enjoy Him more. Glad you liked the article about IBU's. It helps keep me from buying beers that I know I won't like (I still having gained a taste for really bitter beers). @Fernando: I have to say that I thought the same way until God opened my eyes.

My grandfather gave it to me when I was 13. I just about puked. By 16, I was drunk 3 nights a week (binge drinker) After coming to Christ at 23, I didn't have another beer until after college in 1991. My beer of choice is Yuengling Black and Tan (about 2 a day).

Let me tell you why... I grew up in Puerto Rico and came to Christ when I was 12. In most Hispanic countries, Jesus and alcohol don’t mix. After listening repeatedly that those who drank where heading to hell, I have to admit I was never “tempted” to do so. It was not until I moved to Florida that I was able to overcome many of the legalistic beliefs that I grew up with. For my 39th birthday I had the opportunity to have my first beer. One year later I remain a strong Christian and enjoy the freedom in Christ to sit down and enjoy a good imported brew. Praise be to God!

I like beer...so I focus on beer. But I say drink what you like (if it's got booze then even better). It’s perfectly fine to talk about wine…It’s just not my forte. I like beer…so I focus on beer.

He became a Christian when I was about 8 and then it was never in the house again. When I was about 23 I was offered a Bud Light on the golf course. I about spit it out. That stuff is nasty! I still don't love beer, but I like to take a sip of my hubby's. He is always trying something new. I think I will stick to my wine! Am I allowed to say that on a beer blog? :) Lisa Ruggless last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/InsideOut-LisaRuggles/~3/321266707/" rel="nofollow">Some days…..</a> As a little girl, I remember my Dad drinking beer and I loved the smell.
