Not everyone who drinks alcohol becomes addicted to it; some cultures think that if you learn to drink responsibly as a child you won't go wild when you suddenly reach the "legal" drinking age. My parents used to give my sister and me wine or brandy when we were kids on special occasions or sometimes if we were sick. (What it was supposed to cure, I can't really remember.*) My sister loved it; I couldn't even bear to swallow a sip of it. I finally managed to acquire a taste for "candy" drinks as an adult. But today I doubt if either one of us has an alcoholic beverage more than once a month. (Not that I don't crave a nice glass of Bailey's now and then, but I get almost the same enjoyment out of a nice glass of soy milk with a little Bailey's-flavored coffee creamer mixed in.)

*That reminds me of a line from "The Island," which was a really awful pirate movie from 1982 that I totally don't recommend. But they discover a boat loaded with cocaine and the island girl asks Michael Caine what it is. He tells her it's a drug. She asks, "What does it cure?" Michael Caine: "Insecurity."
