Getting drunk is the point of the ordeal. Nobody drinks alcohol because of the taste (no, you don’t, whiskey nerd who will inevitably jerk his misguided manliness into the comments).
Look, I’m an “advanced” drinker, I have a bar stocked with high quality or exotic liqueurs, if I have a beer it’s either an IPA or a nice Belgian, and I make kick ass cocktails (classics or modern) that I could probably sell for 20€ a pop in a city center.
Still, all of that is just excuses so I can drink without looking like a bottom of the barrel alcoholic lmao. Sure I can and do enjoy the taste but still the reason to drink it is for that sweet sweet ethanol.
There are some really delicious non-alcoholic ginger beers.

I do like having a beer for dinner sometimes. Just one. When I don’t feel like getting drunk otherwise. It just fits the food and is tasty.
But yes, if I go out drinking, I drink because Ethanol.
