Poll Do you like the taste of alcohol? (55 votes)
.. or you think you do, but you're actually into it for other reasons (buzz, socializing, peer pressure, confidence builder, an excuse to act out of character, etc...)?
A lot of people believe they genuinely do enjoy the taste. Some would even go in length eloquently describing how they like it (on the rocks, shaken not stirred, etc..) and the pleasant notes and flavors they get out of their favorite drinks.
And they might be right. But to truly know the answer to whether or not alcohol taste is likable, you could apply a simple cognitive test that could help you mentally separate the taste from the social / buzz experience.
The cognitive test is answering the question: Would you enjoy, and frequently seek the experience, of drinking an exact-taste but alcohol-free (i.e. no buzz) replica of your favorite alcohol beverage at home alone while watching TV / relaxing /etc.. ?
Try the above thought experiment with friends / family and see what interesting results you might get.
