Can't have either, really. I can handle ice wine and honey wine, so I guess that's my answer. Has nothing to do with the alcohol content. The working theory is that there's something in the casks and/or hops that doesn't get along with my system. Most liquors hit me the same way too, so there's very little I can stomach.

Do not like the wine.

You're drinking the wrong beer, tovarishch.Gulvplanke said:
I prefer mead, but since that's not readily available, I'd have to go with wine. Of course, my expertise on alcohol is limited, so I imagine there are probably some beers that I would like, but at this point, I can't stand the stuff.
Neither actually. I prefer Single Malt Scotch. Aged 18 years at least. In the absence of that though, wine. Preferably Chardonnay.
Beer. Especially a high quality lager or Imperial Stout. Leffe's Blonde is one of my all time favorite beers.
Wine with Italian foods, but otherwise I'm a beer fan.
Actually lately it's been whiskey. Gets me where I wanna be going, without feeling all bloated after a few. Just gotta remember I can't drink it like I drink beer or I end up waking up at lakes forty minutes away with no idea how I got there or how I'm getting home (oddly specific example you say? hmm).

I'm a home brewer, so I have to say beer, but that comes with a caveat. I don't care for Hoppy Beers. You can keep your pale ales, IPAs, and Pilsners, I like a nice brown or red ale, or porter. On a cold day I like a stout. By the same reasoning, I don't care for Dry wines, much prefering a sweet red or a Riesling. Next year I start culinary school, which means I will end up taking a wine appreciation course, so I will learn more, but beer is still my preferred alcoholic drinking beverage.
I wonder how many people have given either a decent shot? I know it took me a LONG time to find the beers that were right for me, and before that I thought it was all piss water. But I also found I didn't like wine either, keeping the view that I could get sour grapes cheaper by finding old grapes at the grocery store. I drank liquor, in many a myriad form. I still prefer vodka or rum (spiced, and not) for my mixed drinks and social lubricant, scotch for drinking straight (I like Glenlivet and Lismore). But I digress. There are as many different kinds of beer as there are wines, and a great many people in my experience don't take the time to learn about them before dismissing any them.

I prefer beer since I quit smoking because I find it impossible to drink red wine without wanting to spark up.
