The Beer Experiment Has Failed

So I like small amounts of alcohol, because it is a cheap, effective muscle relaxant. But I have spent a few months trying to like beer, and it is mostly not working. I can drink Shiner Ruby Redbird, which is a grapefruit shandy, because the bitterness tastes okay when there's citrus. But mostly I think I am giving up on this experiment. It's been two months. I tried.

While this was going on, I made two Ravenclaw scarves, one Hufflepuff, one Slytherin, one Griffindor, and several hats for this yuletide season. And I may have slightly pissed off my wrists and given myself carpal tunnel symptoms again. I liked listening to podcasts and knitting. It was very soothing, so I overdid it, and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do to fill that gap of comfort and middle aged lifestyle.

Suggestions?
