Can't she be like me and just not drink at all? I don't get adult people's obsession with alcohol, it all tastes bad.
Tastes change with aging son. In the same way some boys prefer not hanging around girls until a certain age, or someone would prefer less sweeter things in exchange for more bitter beverages as they grow up.
In fact one of these days you will rethink about your past and think "what was so interesting about reading Japanese cartoons?" then keep doing other activities you found "uninteresting" or "boring" at the time you were doing it.

"Pure alcohol" doesn't actually have a flavor, it just burns.
And if you think it all tastes bad then you haven't had the right stuff, pretty much every flavor that exist has a alcoholic beverage featuring it, hell I once saw "Bacon Liqueur".
Years after events like this (everyone in my family boozing me up as soon as I became of age) and trying several drinks, I still don't consider myself a drinker at all, but I still find alcohol I like when it comes to parties. "Tasty beers", "bitch drinks", sodas, champagnes, very light wines, spiked sweets. That sort of thing.
There's tons of stuff out there. Lots of people dislike old whiskey and straight draft beer. Doesn't mean they won't ever find alcohol they like; just try something else.
To be somewhat less dismissive, the specifically Japanese preoccupation with alcohol is a (somewhat toxic) culture of social drinking that goes with adulthood and employment. You're expected to go out to drinking parties with first your college classmates and then your coworkers, and it's not particularly looked down on even if you get sloppy drunk. It's considered something of a release valve — you can say things in the context of a drinking party that you'd never dare say at work proper — but it can get dicey.
Fufu... But you know, there are more types of alcohol out there than what you triedHave you ever gone to a bar and tested out the various options?Oh, no... I devote most of my time to my musicUnexplored territory, huh? You might enjoy alcohol more when it's paired with a good mealFufu... If it's Japanese sake you're interested in, leave it to me♪ That's my adult beverage of choiceGoodness... It seems like all of you want me to start drinkingI wonder... What this new world of drinking will be likeMiyu will probably be there tooAh- Shino~? When do you get off work? Just now-Yes, Mizuki, something came up
