For me I just don’t like the taste of Alcohol. It’s a subtle bitterness that ruins the drink for me and it burns in an unpleasant way, like the smell of nail polish.
I’ve tried various drinks over the years, the front taste might be pleasant, but when I taste the alcohol, bleh. What’s sad is that there was a wine or two that had a fantastic front taste that I just wish was alcohol free.
If beer “burns”, you’re doing it wrong. Sure there’s the odd Jamaican Ginger or Cinnamon that might be spicy, but I’ve never had a beer strong enough to get that burning sensation that stronger alcohols can give.
Are you allergic? Did you try a beer so far gone that it’s basically formaldehyde?
You’re of course welcome to chose not to poison yourself with alcohol and I don’t want to push anyone into drinking …… but if you legit were willing but didn’t like the taste, microbrews have a huge range of tastes and strengths that could appeal to many different people
Its been a while since I had alcohol. The last thing I had was Vokda since my wife is using it to make Mint Extract, and sip was enough to remind me why I don’t like the drink.
As for Beer proper. I think it was a fresh bottle of mikes hard lemonade, and what I can recall was overwhelming bitterness mixed with a burning sensation. But that could just be the alcohol drying out my throat.
I also did a rum and coke shot, again bitterness and burning.
Not sure if allergic, but I can see a sensitivity to it. Especially with my strong sense of smell.
I personally see it more like an aversion like how some people avoid carbonated beverages

Wow, humans sure are different: I find that cloyingly sweet. Then again, I generally go for strong bitter flavors: black coffee, dark chocolate, the bitterest style of beers, the Cabernets of wines

This is how I feel about it. When I did try alcoholic drinks I just didn’t like the taste of alcohol.
