It's already been said in this topic but yeah, the "beer is useless because liquor ****s you up quicker" thought train is missing the point of good beer.
You enjoy a good beer with friends or with a meal.
Not to get drunk. That's what your vodka sprite, and cheap mixed college-esque drinks are for.
It's kind of like how you don't order a glass of Disaronno at a club.
