Is it ever ok to ask to sip another man's beer?

[Piiop]

So, let's say you're out with some friends and you're all having drinks.

Guy 1: Oh, so what'd you get?

Guy 2: XXXX (different/uncommon beer)

Guy 1: Ah, how is it?

Guy 2: Good.

Guy 1: Can I have a sip?

Is this socially acceptable?

And if it isn't ok for Guy 1 to ask this, what should Guy 2's response be?

[kerssens]

couldn't you just ask the bartender for a sample?

[Alobar]

you should never use the word "sip" for the same reason that when you do take a (swig/drink/taste/try) you dont extend your pinky finger out when you have the bottle tilted to your lips. Get my drift?

But yeah, there is no big deal about trying out another mans beer.

[JaBlue]

If they don't offer it after you ask them how it is, then you don't ask for a sip

If you ask to sip all gay like that then no, it's not ok. Otherwise, asking to taste another man's beer is acceptable.

I was at a party once. One of those hippie parties where everyone has long hair and is smoking weed. Beer was about $5 or something for a cup. It was given to you in a plastic cup and beer was from a keg. One of those basement parties you know in college. This guy says hey, do you want my beer ? I thought about it for a sec and said, Ok. I drank the beer even though I thought there was something wierd about a total stranger giving me his beer. I had no reason to think he was messing with me since it wasn't that type of environment. Well, a few days later I got really damn sick. I couldn't eat anything because my throat was so swollen. My throat was hurting for 2 long weeks. It finally went away. I still don't know what it was since I never went to the doctor but I'll never forget how [censored] up I got. I attribute it from taking that beer from that guy.

How does that involve someone else's beer? The only waterfalls I know of are when you each have your own drink, and you can only stop after the person before you has stopped. There's no switching or passing along drinks or anything.

Seriously, you people are uptight. I guess most of you probably aren't old enough to go to bars anyway. Most of your experience with drinking probably comes from sitting in a buddy's room after mom turns out the lights, each nursing a Michelob Light and talking tentatively about some underweight, elitist [censored] in your Chem class who you want to nail, all the while supressing your urge to break out in a circle jerk then and there.

The only thing that makes you gay in my book is HAVING SEX WITH OTHER MEN. Obsessing over the other stuff means you're probably an insecure tool.

NT

[Piiop]

The question was not meant to imply that drinking another man's beer makes you gay. Tho, if some people think that it would (which it certainly could in some situations) and they feel that that's a good reason not to ask someone that, there's nothing wrong with it.

There are many other reasons that asking this specific question would be unacceptable. Appropriate responses would go something like this:

"Just get your own, you cheap bastard."

"No, you have the clap/herp/preggers."

"You don't "sip" beer, douche."

"Are you fruity?"

"I hate everyone."

[nothumb]

I was more responding to all the tools who responded that sipping beer is gay. There are certainly people who I would not ask for a sip, or a swig, or anything else from their drink. However, I have asked for and received drinks from people who I met that very night (as well as being offered them). It's not nearly as big a deal as some people seem to think. If you have any social skills you can tell if a person will mind or not.

NT

[garyjacosta]

Sounds like some of you guys are the bitches in your friendships. I wouldn't ask as much as say.... "Hey, I've never had that.... let me try it (as I'm taking it out of his hand)

[wacki]

This post made me laugh.

Just curious though, I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. I simply do not like people messing with my food. I've been that way my whole life. Drinks, that includes beer, are not excluded from this. The only exceptions are some girl I'm going to hook up with. I don't like it when people at the bars want to take a swig of my drink. And I definitely don't like it when some titty dancer (who is complaining about her mom dying of HIV and her abusive, cheating, ex-boyfriend) decides she's thirsty and wants a swig of my drink.

Am I over the line on that one?

[Phill S]

Nothing wrong with trying a mates beer (emphasis mate, i wouldnt try a strangers drink).

If your close and tend to do this, i see no problem in asking (at least me and my mates dont).

The other day i tried a 'banana bread beer' that my mate bought - was ok, not my kind of thing. Last few drinks were a wine one friend bought (hes in that phase) and some alcopop another friend bought (i wish he'd move on from that phase). Last couple ive had them trying high % belgian beer (duval) and a nice number ive always liked that is czech in origion (staropramen).

Btw, its more acceptable if youve bought your drink from a supermarket or off license or summit and are drinking at someones house. If your at the bar just ask if its nice and go buy one to try yourself.

I have done all of those btw.

I just don't like some herpes and hepatitis laden stripper slobbering all over my beer. And considering the number of people out there that are infected (and don't even know it), I don't like random strangers doing it either. I also don't like eating food that was handled by someone who may of just finished picking their nose. Outside of a skin lesion, the digestive tract is the most vulnerable part of the body. I also don't like turning some people down and letting other people in the same room have a sip. I find it much easier to say "If you aren't kissing me, your not sucking on my beer". I find this especially useful since I do have friends that have put their mouths in places no man should go.

I've gotten nasty colds from using WASHED glasses, so I am not keen on people changing glasses. I've done the sip or whatever you want to call it, but mostly I'd rather just be in the dark how it tastes.

By the way, I'm less thrilled about handshakes these days, too. Too many times sitting in public toilets hearing guys take a crap and barely wipe their ass and then bolt out the door without washing their hands, too many times told by women that women do the same thing, too many times seeing guys picking their noises and teeth while they eat and grabbing the scoops and tongs at the salad bar on their next trip ... ugh.

67%-33%? What the hell is that. "Can I have a sip of your beer?" Sheesh, your becoming grown men, you're at a bar...they have lots of beer at a bar so if you are curious how one tastes you order it.

But then again, I go to bars with only a few types of beers, and at this point me and my friends are very familiar with how they all taste.

I don't know, maybe I'm just bitter because the only time someone wanted a sip of my beer was last week when a crackhead neigbor saw me through the open door of a bar and asked me to buy him a beer. When I reminded him I'd just given him 2 bucks he asked for a sip of mine. I was kind of grossed out.

Suddenly I'm angry at my friends for not giving me sips of their beer....it's like they don't even like me. I'm gonna break up with them.

FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP USING THE WORD "SIP"

"SIP" = STRICTLY FOR SKIRTS AND THE SKIRT-AFFILIATED

Like the word "gay," there's no other word that takes its place. Slurp, quaff, guzzle -- none mean the same. Where's the substitute, if you can't use sip?

Sip isn't really fruity, anyway. Heck, if you have to be, like, displaying the uber-macho all the time, the next time you have to get a shot from your doctor, tell him to take a running start and dive in screaming.

If I'm at the Flying Saucer, which has over 100 beers on tap and another 200 or so bottled, there's no way I can "just order" my own and taste them all in anything less than 3 years.
