as he said, there's a difference between disliking the taste of something and something physically making you ill (i.e. it making you cough and feel terrible). i.e. your body is telling you "this is poison". so yeah, you can acclimate to the poison, but its still poison. Even if one considers ethanol to be poison, the first consumptions of it (say in wine) doesn't give the same reaction.
