Just the smell of alcohol gives me a headache, so I can understand.
Only through historical social norms it has achieved its acceptability. Were it to be "discovered" today, it'd be banned in a matter of minutes.

Ease of production is at least as important I think. You can't really ban access to starch and sugar, and as long as you can get those you can make alcohol.
If it was discovered today, nobody would drink shit that tastes like soap
Wow... Lemmy is full of drunkards.
Spoiler for anon: no one is drinking it for the taste.
Depends on the drink, some are nice.
Sure thing. But name one that wouldn't be nicer without the alcohol in it.
