The Importance of Being a Beer Girl

When Megan and I started partying in high school, we would often tell our parents that we were spending the night at each others' house, when in reality we'd be going out. Whenever Megan's or one of our other friends' parents were out of town, we'd throw a party. And we did NOT drink beer. It was gross, and besides there were pretty pink drinks that tasted like candy. Then we began to notice something. There we were, with the alcohol we pooled our money for, sitting down and drinking. Meanwhile there were a certain few girls who were drinking the beer that the boys brought. And playing beer pong with the boys. And most importantly- getting all the attention of the boys. These girls would turn down whatever mixed drinks we had in our hands, claiming to like beer, and the boys would all nod their heads in agreement and unquestionable approval. Needless to say, Megs and I soon decided that drinking beer was a vital aspect of partying. At first, I could barely take a drink of beer without making a terrible face, shaking my head no and putting it down. Then I got to where I could drink them without even flinching. Eventually I grew to enjoy the taste of beer. Now, Megan and I are certified beer girls, and we wouldn't have it any other way:)

The quicker you learn this, the better. For example, at a party, almost anyone is willing to hand you a beer- many times there's nothing else to choose from. However if you only drink liquor you'll have to buy your own. And that cute boy playing pong? You can easily impress him with your beer pong skills, and your ability to down a beer without scrunching your nose up in disgust. Drinking beer definitely gives you a certain edge when you're at the bar. Going up and ordering a beer gives you a little respect, admiration almost, rather than a girl asking for some fruity shit. You seem a little more down to earth and a little less bitchy, is really the best way to put it. Don't believe me? Go ask any one of your guy friends. Not that these 'girly' drinks don't taste good, but keep in mind that they run at least $7 a piece. When at the bar, a boy would much rather buy you a $2.50 beer. Beer is CHEAP. As college students, we embrace being able to find a whole case of coors at a gas station for around 15 bucks. If you're not a beer girl now, I highly recommend trying it.

It's true, beer is an acquired taste and may take some getting used to. But you can do it.
