@HebrideanHecate On my friend's 21st birthday, I had a sip of whatever she was having. All were very gross save for a Moscow Mule that tasted like Sprite until I took a big sip and it didn't. The special cup it came in was nice though. That was my one wild night takeaway. XD

My sister is forever disappointed I haven't given wine a chance but also insists that there are very fruity drinks that make it so I can't taste the alcohol. So the question remains why I'd go out of my way to drink something that comes with side effects? Because if you're clearly not there for the taste I'm assuming you're there for the side effects. I can get a fruity drink anywhere.

My parents insist that mature people drink not to get drunk but to socialize and relax. Yet I'm not sure what alcohol has to do with socializing and relaxing unless we're talking about the steps on the road to being drunk as alcohol, reportedly, makes people feel outgoing. So I'm left to conclude that a large percentage of the population has some form of social anxiety.
