Does anyone else hate drinking? (hexbear.net)

I never got into it and I feel like I'm missing a huge social part of my life. I've tried alcohol and it just tastes bad. Maybe if I had enough to get inebriated I'd feel different, but so far nothing about the experience of drinking has been good. Also I grew up around Baptists who don't have drinking in the culture, so maybe that's part of it? My parents never had alcohol in the house and there was never beer/wine at family gatherings. I never even saw a full glass of beer in person until I was like 23.

Bars are too loud and there's too much expectation to drink, parties have the same problem, drinking at home alone sounds sad. I go to concerts and I'm the only person without a huge glass of beer. People hand me drinks and I'm like "nah" and they get mega confused.

What do I do

Is this the opposite of a problem?

My ex was an alcoholic and one of thr reasons we slit up washe was barely sober on weekends towards the end. Liked to drink 30+ cans in a weekend, which I didn't know was problem drinking until much later. It was a giant hole in our finances too, when she wasn't even working either.

When we started dating she thought it would he fun to try and get me drunk. So we spent one night with all these various drinks and hard liquors and she made stuff for me to drink. I hated every single one. The only one thay I could even finish was kahlua mudslides because it was mostly a chocolate beverage but it still tasted like horrible alcohol.

So I never drink anymore, it is expensive and tastes bad and people are usually asses when they're drunk. The most I'll have is a sip of champagne at a celebration but it tastes like hogwash so one sip is all I can handle.
