There are fancy cocktails and weird alcohols. Look at fancy gins, absinthe, some fine whiskeys (stay the fuck away from rye), some wines when properly paired, plum wine…
Then there’s cases where already tasty stuff can be enhanced with booze that’s not good to drink on its own.
But generally yes alcohol tastes bad and people are just trying to make getting drunk less harrowing.

Angry beaver noises.
I like rye, it’s bourbon that sucks. It tastes like sugar.
