Not anger over disliking alcohol, it's anger over complete ignorance bordering on juvenile arrogance ( I don't like veg as I hate sprouts).

You obviously haven't drank the right beverage if you think everything tastes of ethanol. I'm guessing your judgement is based only on a handful of drinks?

This is getting ridiculous.

I've tasted every one of those drinks you pictured in the OP and then some, doesn't make a difference. I can still taste ethanol, and even if I couldn't, I wouldn't like the taste of it anyway. Even non alcoholic beers, whiskeys and wines would taste disgusting in my opinion.

And even if you did find me one or two alcoholic drinks that I could like, saying "I don't like the taste of alcohol" would still be completely justified as I still dislike the vast majority of them.

Here's the problem: What you are saying is what is rediculous.

What I posted (whiskey, wine and cocktails) come in such a variety that to say you've tasted them and therefore don't like any is like tasting cheap cod and then declaring you hate the taste of all fish. 

For some reason, people just revert back to being 4 when they talk about alcohol. It's odd and annoying in equal measure.

I know many non drinkers who can not taste the alcohol in Long Island Iced Teas. Other than that I know I can always taste the alcohol too. I had a vodka once, Beluga I think, i drank it straight and it didn't taste like alchohol, but i think that was a rare case

 

 

I think people are arguing with you because you're saying that alcoholic drinks taste better than non-alcoholic drinks (orange juice, chocolate milk, coffee), and they're saying that they prefer the taste of the latter. You then automatically process this as them not liking alcoholic drinks at all. I think 99% of people who like alcoholic drinks like it for the effects and not the flavor, because there a lot of cheaper, non-alcoholic options that taste better than your most expensive liquers, wines, beers, etc. And besides, many of the drinks you mentioned are mixed with non-alcoholic drinks to make them TASTE BETTER. lol
