This doesn't explain why people drink beer.
To me beer tastes and smells Terrible. I'd rather have hard lemonade, or vodka mixed with almost anything but beer.
But up until a couple of years ago I also didn't like coffee. So I think that both beer and coffee are an acquired taste. (um, yeah and coffee isn't a drug at all...)
The taste of certain wines reminds me pleasantly of my catholic childhood.
But yeah, people like the taste of other things they use to mask and dilute the alcohol, otherwise they'd just take shots of high-proof vodka.
Possible counterpoint to that: Any flavoring would be nasty when concentrated. Perhaps water with a small amount of alcohol would have a noticeable pleasant flavor. (but be useless for intoxication)
Indeed. There's a drink called a "White Rain" some friends of mine invented in college:
It's pretty good, and tastes mostly like really refreshing water. Note: the measurements above are best guesses, as the original recipe is based on the cups at Conn Hall at SCSU. If it tastes like cough syurp, you did something wrong.
