Alcohol on its own doesn't taste good. No amount of bullshit that you spew will change that. It tastes slightly like gasoline and will kill you if you drink 100% pure alcohol. Weed can't kill you, no matter how much you smoke you just fall asleep. You don't wake up with alcohol poisoning or vomiting either.
No one claimed that pure alcohol tastes good. They claimed that beverages that contain alcohol taste good. Why do you think there's a variation in price among alcoholic beverages that contain the same amount of alcohol? Why can a bottle of wine cost hundreds of dollars? Because it tastes good!
However, in order to correct your apples to oranges comparison, I suggest that if you're going to compare pure alcohol to marijuana, you compare it to pure THC. (Which can kill you if you take enough, but "enough" is very very very unlikely to be consumed by a person.) Furthermore, people smoke pot for the high it gives, not the flavor.
....oh well...that's a gray area there. The high is certainly the important factor, but just as different strains produce different highs, they also are noted for different flavors. Blueberry, gum to name a few.
