Personally, I enjoy the drinks I'm drinking. And no, I'm not saying where it tastes like candy but I drink in the manner of responding "I don't understand the question." when I'm asked "What would you like with your gin?"
Part of what I drink helps because slamming it hurts, but I like that slight burn when sipping (Why yes I like spicy food too but I digress), that burn is a nice speed limiter so it takes a while to even get a buzz. There at the slight the term "social lubricant" shines. I'm not deep in my head, all the worries, anxieties, etc I can actually set aside and enjoy my time rather than going through the list of shit I need to get done a thirtieth time.
If you don't like it, it's perfectly fine, getting drunk is not something necessary to live life.
