If you truly drink beer only as a source of alcohol, I'd suggest some more efficient delivery mechanisms (spirits etc).
I used to drink beer only for the social and getting drunk reasons...but then I explored all the different types of beer and now truthfully I drink for taste instead of purely alcohol. I think you develop a very deep appreciation for beer types and the tastes that go with them once you have tried a sufficient number of them. Maybe you just haven't found your real favorite beer out there? There are so many different types that taste so different from one another it is very impressive.
Fun times too, trying different beers all the time and comparing them to those that you had previously and finding your favorites.
