I have since heard that some people's bodies lack whatever it is that makes alcohol work for most. Not that you're unaffected, but that you don't get the pleasurable buzz that is supposed to kick in.

I hated coffee at first too but grew to like it because the nice caffeine boost encouraged me to keep using it until I eventually acquired a taste for it. This never happened with alcohol because it never gave me any kind of reward that would make me want to push past the initial distaste.

So yeah, we probably are weird since most people are not like that. But look how much money we've saved not buying alcohol.
