Should I drink Guinness if I am new to alcohol?

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten drunk, my mom took me to a bar once on her birthday and I did drink some Dr Pepper like alcohol, and my chest felt warm, but I don’t think I drank it enough to get drunk because I didn’t like the taste. I have Irish heritage and I would like to go to an Irish bar and try some Guinness but again I’m still new to alcohol, should I start with something else? I want to be able to socially drink, go out with friends and share an alcoholic beverage so I have to start somewhere, and people keep telling me that Guinness is good. What do you all think?
