If I had to guess I’d say either sensory issues with drinking alcohol itself, or the fact that drinking is another one of those social things that many only do because “it’s what people do”
In my case it’s a sensory thing but I also apparently have that gene that that makes you really sensitive to bitter. So even the fruitiest “you can’t even taste the alcohol” drink tastes to me like paint thinner smells.
now what is the connection between neurodivergence and detesting alcohol?

I’m not into it either. I don’t hate it, it’s just mid
It’s an acquired habit that you develop by repeatedly using alcohol as a social crutch. I don’t think anyone is born liking the taste of alcohol.
