I really don’t like the taste of alcohol, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any alcoholic beverages I like—I go for the ones that are sugary enough to mask the taste, and/or shots of spirits that go down quickly and don’t so much have a “taste” as cause a burning sensation along with the taste of whatever’s in with the alcohol. That burning sensation can seem to be rounding off the flavour somehow, like I expect sambuca wouldn’t be as good as simply the sweet liquoricey taste, but I don’t think that really qualifies as liking alcohol, notwithstanding how weird people find it that I can tell them “I don’t like the taste of alcohol” between sips of a double sambuca.
When I drink, I’m getting drunk with other students, so it’s both “drinking to get drunk” and “drinking socially”, and I don’t think I’d do either of those things individually. I’m not sure if I’d even go along with “let’s all go out and get drunk” half as enthusiastically outside of the context of student drinking culture.
I only have one sugar, but supposing that you’re asking whether I weaken the taste, I do take it weak and milky, enough that some people (such as my brother) have commented “you’re just drinking milk” or words to that effect.

This does sound similar to me. Do you drink tea with several sugars?

I have 2.5 sugars or more in a normal (and slightly weak) cup of tea. (sometimes with milk)
I was asking about the sugar. But on this note—I do find tea to be bitter.
I get comments like—“do you want some tea in your cup of sugar-water?” (I say no)
On the occasions when I do decide to have less milk (or no milk, but I only do that if there isn’t any), I do have about that much sugar.
