I’m similar - rarely drink and dislike most alcoholic drinks - except that I have found certain flavors I like. Usually it’s sweetened wines, or cider. Also it’s often about pairing - the acidity or tartness sometimes just hits the spot.
Good things to compare to are:
- spicy food
- stinky foods (eg cheese)
- coffee
All of the above are acquired tastes. I could barely eat spicy before, now I love it. Stinky cheese makes we want to vomit, but others enjoy it. I only drink decaf, yet periodically enjoy a black coffee, something which seemed absurd when I was younger.
To me alcohol is just one more flavor option. I wouldn’t want it banned just because other people can’t control themselves.
