Hola Emanuel
You can drop it as you said and it still means the same:
No me gusta nada la cerveza - I don't like beer at all.
No me gusta la cerveza para nada - I don't like beer at all.
The second with "para nada" is a bit more emphatic than just "nada", I would say.
Also notice that if we use "nada" we normally place it right after "gusta", but with "para nada" the most natural place is at the end.
Saludos
