A personal question, and I truly mean no offense - are you on the spectrum?

The only people I've met (in real life) to date who can't stand the taste of alcohol are children and people with Asperger's, I assume because bitter tastes are a sort of sensory overload for them. Purely anecdotal and could be a complete horseshit theory, but I'm just curious.

Or perhaps people who aren’t on the spectrum who don’t like the taste just keep it hidden and phrase it in some socially acceptable manner as to not offend the drunks.

A good point.

I missed this comment, but in case you see it: no, I'm not on the spectrum.

I am a supertaster however. That likely is the cause of my distaste for alcohol.
