It's bold, at least. You should have asked before you did that, many people view sharing drinks as about as intimate as kissing. I could see it working in some circumstances and being playful, but in the future if it doesn't work you should probably buy the guy a replacement beer lol. Live and learn.
I'm with you and appreciate the input. The thing is I have this hunch that if I were to have kissed him instead of taken his beer, and everything else stayed the same, he would have reacted extremely differently. Which means he was put off by something else, selective drink sharing-only germophobia, ego/masculinity, wanting to be the one to make moves, or any other myraid of reasons
