Most taste like shit, end of story. And yes, if I think something tastes bad I'm not going to eat or drink it; I'm not 6, I can choose what I ingest.
"Acquired taste" is cover for "tastes like shit but my friends drink it." It's built entirely on peer pressure, to the point where sweet or nice tasting alcohols (you know, traits many good beverages have) are considered weak or feminine. If that's not backwards thinking I don't know what is.
