Most alcohol is an acquired taste. I mostly hate all liquor and only like beer and wine. I'll do some mixed drinks sometimes but I mostly hate them. I hated Guinness the first time I had it when I was 18. Bought we bought a case and figured it was so damn expensive that we were going to muscle through it. A few years later, it became one of my favorite beers. I still like Guinness today.

i agree 100% but it sounds like @Hawk is saying aquired tastes arent real which is ridiculous

Of course they're real, but what is it that forces us through the process of acquisition?

No, I actually drink alcohol myself. I'm just reflecting on the psychology of taste acquisition - the process, not the end result.
