I’ve written about this before, but it’s a long story of experimentation so short story: I don’t really get drunk or hungover. So there’s no real source for me to form positive associations with the taste of alcohol.
The first time I drank I basically went on a bender with my cousin trying all the different kinds of hard liquor we could find. Gin is probably my favorite (the only ones whose flavor notes seem to actually go with the taste of alcohol), but I’d prefer water or juice over all of them. Anyway in the morning my cousin threw up, I didn’t.
I’ve been out to drink a few times since, and while the CNS depressant effects like breathing and heart rate show up. I don’t feel more relaxed or happy or buzzed or more social or brave/foolhhardy. I mostly just feel a headache, maybe dizziness if I drink a lot, and the thought of “why did I pay for a drink that tastes bad when I could’ve bought a cheaper one that actually tastes good?”
That changes when you drink it frequently, unless you drink too much and get really hungover in which case it’ll be the opposite
