I generally don't like alcohol, though my tolerance has gradually increased (to way below average) over time.
Does distaste for alcohol correlate with anything else?
Supertasting. I strongly suspect I am one. There are only two things on the list of seven things supertasters often don't like which I'll consume (Brassica oleracea cultivars and soy) and I hate the other things.
I think of myself as a sub-supertaster. No to grapefruit and coffee (unless the coffee flavor is very mild as in ice cream). Yes to kale. No to alcohol, except in small quantities. Green tea is more tolerable than black. I seem to like olives less than a lot of people, but the problem is with bitterness more than saltiness. I don't seem to like salt as much as a lot of people do. I like hot peppers a lot.
In general, my tolerance for bitter flavors has increased with time.
I wonder why it's called "super" if it's a bad thing...
Who says it's bad? It means being more sensitive to taste; it just turns out that some things aren't very nice if you can really taste them. Other stuff tastes great!
Adverb: Especially; particularly.
Thanks for the link! I look at how it describes my tastes: I hate beer, coffee, grapefruits, tonic. I dislike uncooked cabbage, green tea, soda. I'm OK with cooked cabbage, soy; and I like chilli and olives.
