"I don't like the taste of alcohol"

Have you tasted the many, many different varities of alcoholic drinks? Or just making a vast generalisation based on ignorance? (FYI ignorance means lack of knowledge - it's not an insult). I don't like coffee, but if someone was to offer me a type I'd never had before, I would have to give it a try or I'd be just the same as a kid not wanting to taste other vegetables because he doesn't like sprouts.

Who's saying they wouldn't try something they were offered? My point is that if you don't have a general like or passion for something in the first place, why would you actively seek out a single variety that you might possibly like?

I personally dislike the underlying "alcohol" taste in most drinks. I also dislike the effect they have on me. The general buzz you feel from drinking makes me uneasy. If someone offered me something new that I haven't had I would take a sip, I'm not some elitist trying to prove a point.

"I don't like the taste of alcohol" 

"I have yet to find an alcoholic drink I like"

Very different. I'm not saying "actively seek out something to drink" but just "don't write off all alcoholic drinks because you've had a few bad ones". However it is good to see that you are open minded to new drinks rather than blindly writing them all off.

Why does the buzz from drinking make you uneasy...? I'm not an elitist trying to make a point. I'm saying that making sweeping generalisations based on a few drinks is incredibly ignorant and bordering on juvenile (refer back to sprouts example).
