>>212030659 (OP)Bad coffee can be absolutely disgusting. But good coffee would be ambrosia to me even if I were not a thoroughly chemically dependent caffeine addict of many years standing.
And of course there’s no single taste of alcohol, good or bad—pure ethanol is almost completely tasteless, it just provokes a burning sensation. It’s all the other compounds in alcoholic beverages that deliver the drinks’ wide range of flavors. When people say “they don’t like the taste of alcohol,” they either mean that they don’t like the way it feels, or they’re not being specific.
I used to like some of the tastes of various varieties of wine, beer, and spirits, but I turned out to be an alcoholic and eventually gave it up. Some of the flavors I once sincerely enjoyed literally turn my stomach now.
