Why is it you only enjoy alcohol as you grow up?!
For example, when I was little, I detested strawberries. Now that I'm all grown up, I absolutely ADORE strawberries.
I used to think it was gross when my parents would mix drinks and sit and enjoy them of an evening. I couldn't see any value in it, nor could I see how relaxing a rum and coke, or anything like that, could possibly be. Now that I'm older, and the mom, I see how nice it is to sit down and sip a strong drink, or have a glass or two of wine. It really does settle the nerves after a long day, and helps make me sleepy. (It also helps to tolerate the annoying neighbor, or relative from Hell.)
Answers: It's all a matter of perspective, and the fact that your tastes change as you get older.

I enjoyed alcohol to its fullest extent from 15 y/o to 18 y/o. And now, at 21, alcohol makes me sick!! I personally think it's sad. I definately don't enjoy it as much now than when I was younger.
you don't! I have a whole family full of alcoholics :/
21-77 years of age...
Well, if you're talking about being five years old, it's because your sense of taste changes as you grow. (This is why kids' candies are often extremely sour.) If you're talking about being fourteen versus being in your early twenties, it's probably because you tried to drink wine or liquor as though it were coke, i.e. way too fast.
probably your tastes change...
i guess its that youre not aloud to do it for all of those years when you are young.....and now you want to do it all of the time.
Because you have to suppress the realities of life.
