You can just tell us if you like torture, no need to hide it. We don't judge.

Nah. I just really hate coffee.

People on a gluten-free diet can't drink whiskey. But I do like rum. Do I escape the Spanish TET Inquisition?

Gimme a sec.

Edit: And... Nope. Guess there's something in place to stop that, or I'm an idiot. Eh, I'll hate it but I can be patient. Guess it's time for more rum then.

A few neurotransmitters, IIRC. But with that in mind, I still don't get why anyone would willingly choose to become intoxicated.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

But it isn't particularly prudent in the long-term, given the risks of alcohol consumption (or over-consumption).

Well what do you mean? If it's a bad idea then you probably shouldn't do it, even if doing so is pleasurable to some extent.

Are you sure that you didn't mean to reply to Kowani, m8? He's the one who believes that intrinsic value doesn't exist, not me.
