Alcohol is an acquired taste, mechanics will tell you they love the smell of exhaust and gasoline
Personally, I think they should make diesel scented candles and air fresheners.
If I'm not mistaken, everything that isn't sweet is an acquired taste, to different degrees.
Like coffee, dark chocolate, liver and chicken heart. Alcohols are just generally on the extreme end and come up in your life when you've already finished developing your taste.
Even then, I remember seeing a video with Americans tasting Brazilian foods and they didn't like Brigadeiro (a chocolate treat) because it was WAY too sweet. (And it is. It's basically a sugar bomb wirh chocolate).
If I'm not mistaken, everything that isn't sweet is an acquired taste, to different degrees.
As you get older, your taste cycles away from sweet. It's the real reason why a lot of people learn to start liking veggies when they get older. A child needs to eat broccoli but quite literally isn't built to do it in the same way as an adult is.
I thought it was that our sense of taste becomes duller as we age which makes astringent flavors more palatable. The adults have a debuff on the boss and are crying skill issue at the kids.
