I don't understand why (even while I sense it happening to me in real time) but it seems like part of getting older is enjoying drinks that are shitty on purpose.

I think most people develop a positive association with them because of the pleasant effects. That hasn't happened to me yet though, and probably won't. I prefer when my drinks taste good, like actually taste good like a fruity fizzy drink, not like I'm drinking something fermented way past its prime. I still do drink wine or beer in social gatherings to fit in but I don't really enjoy it. I just have them when there isn't anything else.
