I really don't like the taste of alcohol, but that doesn't mean there aren't any alcoholic beverages I like - I go for the ones that are sugary enough to mask the taste, and/or shots of spirits that go down quickly and don't so much have a "taste" as cause a burning sensation along with the taste of whatever's in with the alcohol. That burning sensation can seem to be rounding off the flavour somehow, like I expect sambuca wouldn't be as good as simply the sweet liquoricey taste, but I don't think that really qualifies as liking alcohol, notwithstanding how weird people find it that I can tell them "I don't like the taste of alcohol" between sips of a double sambuca.

When I drink, I'm getting drunk with other students, so it's both "drinking to get drunk" and "drinking socially", and I don't think I'd do either of those things individually. I'm not sure if I'd even go along with "let's all go out and get drunk" half as enthusiastically outside of the context of student drinking culture.
