I didn’t try beer until I was 27 and I personally don’t see the appeal. Literally the only beer I can stomach is the non-alcoholic so maybe it’s the alcohol in general. Even then, I’d rather just have a sody pap.
Ah yes, the 1970s. Well, America didn’t advertise cigarettes with dentists and doctors recommending them by that time. That was up to, I once read, 1955 or 1956.
