eli5: What is it about coffee and beer that makes people love both so much as adults but hate them as kids ?

810 views

I am personally not a big beer lover, but I do dig some beer with good meat. However, I am an avid espresso lover. As a kid I hated both, especially coffee.

Frankly speaking, I would expect someone who first drinks either of those drinks to not really like their taste. Somehow, I still can’t do without at least 4 shots of espresso a day.

Is it a social thing ? An awareness(caffeine) thing ?

Do adults love the taste of coffee and beer or is it more the effect? In my experience most adults view them as caffeine and alcohol delivery systems and just try to find one that tastes tolerable.
