Yeah, it's just their desperation for me to drink the drinks they like that makes them say it, I think. Either that or they're just weird. In fact, either way, they're weird. Luckily I persisted - although not by constantly drinking the same thing, but by trying many options and eventually coming across one I liked after about... what, six or seven years? I don't know why nobody suggested Southern Comfort to me earlier!
My only suggestion is that you drink everything once and try stuff. My tastes have changed - I went from girly coolers to rum and coke, which has become my staple for over a decade. Now I can drink beer - but I don't really enjoy it like I do 4-8 rum and cokes. Heck I will drink shots of spirits instead of drinking beer. It's ridiculous.

Eventually you'll find what you like and settle with it. Don't let people tell you that you have to enjoy xyz. There's no way I will ever drink beer to excess - my limit is 6 before I vomit. But I can hold mixed drinks up to a dozen drinks without passing out - my behaviour will degrade to unacceptable long before a dozen drinks, BUT THAT'S OKAY
