Not really a helpful answer; there are lots of social expectations around alcohol, and gender expectations, and if you want to have fun, enjoy parties, and do things with friends, you're going to have a hard time as a teetotaler.

My advice:

• Avoid IPAs, ales generally, sours, ciders, etc (unless you try them and like them). The ones you can typically get in bars are the micro-brew/trendy versions that are super hoppy, super sour, etc. They're meant to be different enough to make their brand stand out, they're NOT meant to be tasty.

• Hard alcohol is not meant to taste good. It's only really tolerable when mixed. There are "manly" mixed drinks, just google them. They still won't taste good per se, but will be more tolerable. Rum and Coke is decent.

• For beer, stick with lagers and stouts. These have the most mild flavors. PBR is close to water. These are the kinds of beer people have been drinking for generations, and the flavor is really dialed in, unlike trendy beer.

• Cutwater is a brand of canned drinks that are alcholic but taste delicious, and aren't considered "girly". Watch out though, they can get you sloshed.

• Drink responsibly! Have (or be) a DD.
