writes:Hi, I'd like some advice from the ladies, please! Very simply - do women generally find it unattractive if a man's drinking beer on a date, or even at a social event?My female friends tell me this is the case, and that I should switch to wine and then only sip it in moderation. I've previously gone out with somebody and spent all night sinking beers while chatting to her, and she said she wasn't too keen.Would really appreciate some advice on this! Thanks!

But when he goes over the top and gets drunk., that is totally out of order and the most unattractive thing ever. I had a boyfriend who got raging drunk on our first dates, I told him either cut down or no more dates. He did stop all the heavy drinking and now we are married, he looks healthier, and is happier as a result. Just a few, no need to get plastered.

 Taste is right, it depends on the woman's feelings. Any woman would be revolted by a man who is stinking drunk. That's just disgusting.
If a person has had any alcohol at all to drink, then he/she should NOT be driving. Even one drink is one too many when you're steering a 3,000 pound piece of steel. A car is just as dangerous as a loaded gun, you need all your faculties about you to drive.
I've been on a date and had a couple of beers, though. If no driving is involved then a couple of beers is no big deal.

 I would also venture that is has more to do with the amount then what it is they drink. My husband is a beer man, I'm a whiskey woman.. Don't bother me none. However we rarely drink.
And a guy sitting at a bar sipping wine is just.. odd. Most bars sell crappy wine if you buy it by the glass. If you go out for a REAL nice dinner, then yeah if you like wine with your food it's fine. If you rather have coffee, coke or beer with your steak I really wouldn't be offended.

i wouldnt have a problem if i went on a date and the guy drank beer all night just as long as he doesnt get absolutely hammered and can still carry a normal conversation.
so you can tell your friends that although some women may not like it much, most will probably not have a problem with it :)

Well if you want a false start sip the wine moderatly...or be true to yourself, if you want a pint have one. What on earth is the point of listening to what OTHERS think you should do...do what you want. But if you do like to sip wine do that but because YOU WANT TO. Wine, Beer, sip, sink, Be who you are! never pretend to impress or you will find your life is a lie. Maybe you need to change your freinds rather your poison.

 Depends on her feelings on alcohol - if she's really against drinking you'll have a problem. But, if she's not, I really don't think beer vs. wine is really an issue. It's all about how much you're throwing back. I would be upset if my fella was drowning himself in booze for our date, so maybe try to keep your drinks to 3 or under?

 Hello! Im a 22 year old woman, and if I went on a date with you and you drank beer all night I wouldnt care less! What a man drinks does not determine the way I feel about him (unless he gets that drunk I have to carry him home lol). I would actually be suprised if I was with a man who drank wine!
Having said this, Im the kind of woman who drinks pints of cider - and no man has yet to complain about this :) Just dont get too drunk and there should be no problems! Hope this input has helped! x

Hi,as long as your not downing pints in record time,then throwing up over her shoes i don't see it as a problem.If you like her you want her to know the real you and if thats drinking beer instead of sipping wine,then so be it.

I'd like my date to feel comfortable around me. If he likes to drink beer, then bottoms up!
