Well all alcoholic drinks taste of alcohol to a greater or lesser degree, so I'm not that sure it was a stupid statement, no matter how much I disagree with it.

I'll rephrase then to I don't particularly enjoy the taste of any alcoholic beverage. I can't stand the taste of beers / ales / lagers and shots and liquers don't really do it for me either. Wine, whilst almost bearable I still don't really all out enjoy the taste and it most certainly has never ever complimented a food for me to date yet and I have tried. That's just how my taste buds work I'm afraid.
Just because there are a large range doesn't mean I have to actually really enjoy the taste of any of them. My only reason to drink alcohol would be to get myself sozzled and I don't find enjoyment in that these days either.

Men come in a huge range of body types, skin colours and personalities. That's like saying you don't like being gay.
try some cider then
Been there got that t-shirt. Whilst certainly tolerable compared to beer / ale / larger I still don't really enjoy the taste and after taste of cider either.
Believe me I've tried a massive variety of alcoholic beverages over the years and I can't really say that there is one that I could sit with and actually enjoy the flavour of it. Don't ask me why, that's just how it is
When I think about it though it has been like this since I started my drinking career, that's what it is when you start off it seems. I'd never sip or enjoy alcoholic beverages I'd just neck whatever I had in one, preferably nice and cold to hide as much flavour as possible. I will be scorned for this but I've even chilled red wine to see if it tastes any better like that

This is normal for the French
Never say never
All the more reason not to do it
I was in St Tropez few years back sitting outside at a bar...when suddenly about 5 massive hairy French workmen turned up in hard hats boots etc...
They stood at the bar and all of them ordered a Carafe of Red wine with ICE each
It was around lunch-time
Its normal...and TBH I was on it like a car bonnet after that!
Have thought about giving up alcohol before as I'm fairly certain I could mange it as I don't tend to drink too often, sometimes months could have passed before I actually think about it.
When I do tend to have a drink it's usually only 1-2 anyway so normally just stick with that... Have a few stouts and wheat beers in for over the Christmas period
Good luck with it though

I used to drink a lot, pretty much most week nights and all weekend and I realised the cost of such a habit so cut down majorly. I went from that, to no drinking at all for almost two years and now I only go out once in a while, have a good session but the thought of the hangover is always in my mind so I moderate what I drink Much more fun.
I still have a nice Ale or something during the week with dinner as one is nothing, and tastes nice.
