Sometimes it's nice to blow off a non-serious game like that and see if you can win. I think I am about 75~100 games (total of wins/losses) away from being an effective "average" player. I'm thinking of buying Sona next and working on her, since she is a stronger support champion than Taric, and working more on my Ryze and Alistar.
Any great suggestions on how to play Alistar more effectively in lane?
pretty much you have to be aggressive on alistar. I think you might be best served to learn to play him in the jungle. That allows him to get good farm and lots of opportunity to put his insane ganking power to use. Solo lane alistar is also pretty strong, but i dont think doing this is a great idea until you really learn to play him.
as far as duo laning with him, if you are with an ad carry, try to get a philo stone as quickly as you can and then just let the other person farm the lane. If they suck at last hitting, go ahead and farm, but pretty much you just want harass the enemy and prevent them from farming well. I feel like i had more to say, but im drawing blanks now. maybe if you gave so more info about what you are doing currently that would help
