Do you drink, and if so how much?

Alcohol free beer does not taste fine! But sure, when cooking with wine, sometimes the last stage is 'flambee' or burning off the alcohol.

Btw you don't put alcohol in stuff, it's a natural process. Leave your fruit sitting too long and it can ferment on its own. The alcohol gives it a 'kick' like adding spice to food. You don't straight up eat black pepper either, but it's a great seasoning! Of course if you can't stand the taste of black pepper, it will ruin every food you put it on.

Vodka is the closest to pure alcohol 'taste' I guess, and it does taste like what I imagine turpentine tastes like. Not a favorite.

Yes, I am well aware of the science behind it. I know that fermenting results in a distinct flavour and alcohol as a byproduct. I know you don't just take 100% pure alcohol and infuse it into things. However, the alcohol itself does have a distinct chemical compound and a flavour. 

Beer tastes terrible regardless. Like Barf and goat piss. I was referring mostly to 'girly' drinks like cocktails and mixes. 

Have you tried drinking straight shots?

Most those drink mixes that you refer to girly, you can barely taste any alcohol in them lol. They have less than 5% alcohol content.

Some mixes and especially cocktails are too damn sweet and they can make you feel like vomiting. I found that with some alcohols i.e. bourbon and coke, Vodka and OJ. I can't drink it makes me sick. However straight shots I can and not even feel sick.
