no one(maybe some) likes alcohol the first time. one must acquire a taste for it. that doesn't mean it's not worth it. scotch was so disgusting to me the first time i had it and now it's one of the great pleasures in my life.

Adding to this - half of developing a taste for scotch is developing the skill of tasting scotch. Which is to say, take smaller sips. I've personally found that 80% or so of people who say they don't like scotch will enjoy a good scotch if they can be convinced to take a sufficiently small sip. Agreed, one of the great pleasures in life!

I've introduced some people to craft beer as their first alcohol, and they've tended to seriously enjoy it when given a few options and allowed to taste and choose. Of course, if you're given a house vodka and coke or a bottle of Whatever Light as your first alcohol, you're not going to like it.
