I have never personally noticed alcohol making me feel happier or more clever or anything like that, although KY says from her observation I get more talkative. So for me, if it doesn't taste good, I don't see any point, and don't feel it adds to my enjoyment of social events.
But there are some things I do enjoy the taste of. I'd say I generally am not crazy about bitter things, but perhaps my tolerance has gone up in recent years, and so I am able to enjoy hoppy beers. That said, a friend introduced me to shandies, and I probably do enjoy that more than straight beer.
And the magnitude of my memory of ABV made me wonder if I remembered the name wrong. Googling suggests I meant Quady Electra Moscato, because the description and cost more closely matches what I remember: fermented for only a month (which makes me wonder if I would actually prefer to just drink the grape juice unfermented), and 4.5% ABV. (Plus, the one I remembered wrong, I spelled the name wrong. It is Essensia.)
