I suspect 9eB1 meant that a drink should have “psychoactive properties” to gather a culture of “tasting notes” around its perceived “flavour properties” and somehow although people drink for the psychoactive properties, they believe they drink for the flavour properties.
I agree with the variations in cheese flavours that people talk about; and also bread for that matter. Also fish, smoked foods, vinegars, oils, cake...
Also worth adding is things like “coffee flavour” would not be appealing if people didn’t also like the flavour. Some people below have mentioned liking coffee icecream but not coffee.

Yes, I think he means something like that and I disagree with that. I think alcoholic drinks actually have a very diverse and interesting set of flavors that are worth exploring even without the psychoactive effect of alcohol. De gustibus, of course...
