why drink guinness?  it doesn't taste good, but people still drink it. 
guinness is not a beer for partying.  at least not for me.  and it doesn't 
help you stay up late to write papers like coffee.  people drink guinness 
because it is an elitist status symbol.  like snuff used to be.  yeah, we're 
all miserable, pretending we like it, but at least we feel cool.

okay, that's a lie.  i've always liked the taste of guinness, but that was 
after i acquired the taste of beer.  i acquired a taste for beer because i 
was a delinquint.  now i just drink it for the taste.

i think it's a good idea for every good american citizen to work at 
acquiring a taste for beer.  not to get drunk, but to be mellow and to have 
a good taste in your mouth.  it's very rewarding, marie, you should try it.  
start with dos equis amber down there in mexico.  eventually you'll find 
yourself in pub in ireland.
