Personally I haven’t come into contact with alcohol too much, mostly because of the circles I grew up in. I didn’t drink for years because my friends didn’t drink, and later on because I was running competitively and conscientious about my caloric intake.
Now, I drink socially, but I have a high tolerance for alcohol and rarely experience lowered inhibitions. I actually like the taste of many drinks, and so I’ve never really put much thought into the fact that I drink (but I do go through some mental distress about the opportunity cost, i.e. “this isn’t healthy, and if I’m going to consume something unhealthy, ice cream tastes better!”) I’ve been borderline drunk (in friendly environments) only a handful of times, and always enjoyed it at least for the novelty of the experience. But if I were told I could never have another drink, I’d be totally fine with it.
As for my palate, I like everything except horseradish, whatever that’s worth.
Some of my favorite drinks are various mojitos (when going out) and kahlua with milk (hanging out at someone’s house). Beer and wine taste okay/good too, but honestly, if I’m having only 1-2 drinks, I’d probably rather just have lemonade or something.
Wasabi is one of maybe about 3-4 foods I don’t like, but merely tolerate. I like chili and curry. I like a medium spice level. I can handle jalapeños and spicy Mexican food, but not spicy Indian food. But normally hot sauce just overpowers the flavor of the dish, so I don’t really use it.

do you eat wasabi? Its similar to horseraddish but definitely different. What about spicy foods? Chilli, Curry?
