NA (non alcoholic) beer.

I enjoy beer, even the macro-brewery styles. Every NA beer I’ve tried is the dishwater tasting worst example of beer. I don’t get it. There are so many better NA options.

A lot of answers here are things that are acquired tastes. Most alcoholic beverages for example: once you get used to them you start to appreciate the interesting alcohol-soluble flavors that you can’t get anywhere else. Learning to like bitter flavors opens up things like coffee (though the caffeine addiction probably helps too).

The one drink that I cannot understand is cola. I remember in the 90’s seeing all the ads about Pepsi vs Coke. Restaurants and grocery stores and households picked a side. You’d occasionally encounter the weirdo or centrist who liked both, the juggalo with Faygo cola, or elitist with Jones soda, or the weirdo with a generic or another minor brand. All of them are terrible. I like a bunch of weird and strong flavors. Umami, salty, herbal, floral, sweet, acidic, whatever. I have a bag of Horehound hard candies on my desk that everyone else hates. I like to make my own mint soda by adding mint syrup to club soda. I cannot understand how cola ever became popular.

I suspect lager/beer/IPA/RealAle etc.

I love almost all of it now, but as a teen first trying it it was disgusting and I had to pretend to like it because thats what Real Men drink. I can’t be sure if its an acquired taste, or something that only comes with age, or my main suspicion is that its like Stockholm Syndrome for your tongue.

A lot of fancy stuff would not appeal to the average persons pallate. Its kinda like beer and coffee which I think some people like but many get used to. Anyway for the bulls 3rd victory my sister got dom perignon or whatever. everyone hated it but its dry which I guess is the fancy pallet appeal. although fancy pallet to me are folks that convince themselves they like it because they think it makes them better. the refined pallet.

Everyone I know drinks red bull. I’ve never tried it, it smells like cough syrup vomit. Please don’t ask me how I know, it was traumatic. I’ve watched a close friend crack one open first thing in the am, she looks so happy. Blurggggggh.

Wine.

Alcohol.

Every energy drink ever invented.

This is a personal question, different people have different taste. And it changes over time too. I can’t like anything that is tooth-shattering sweet but can appreciate bitter flavor now.

My answer to this is always a Negroni. I cannot apprehend it, and I like cocktails. The Negroni is a cup of bitter sugar syrup and I cannot taste whatever it is that people like in it. It’s like someone drank Campari and said “not sweet enough” what the heck?

Tequila, scotch, bourbon, all those I drink “lengthened” with some soda water to appreciate them and can taste the delicious flavors once they are diluted. Gin is good with tonic & lime. But the very strong, oversweet stirred drinks I don’t enjoy and Negroni is the most beloved of them.

Pretty much all alcohol. First time it tastes awful. Then you start to appreciate the side effects, not the aquired taste, cause it tastes awful

Moxie. Seriously, gentian root is absolute ass.
