You seem to have stumbled onto the existence of supertasters. As a supertaster myself, I find tonic water extremely bitter, must overly sweeten my coffee and can’t stand grapefruit juice or spinach. I delight in the sharp sting of a good beer, though. Conversely, there are “nontasters” who have a greater tolerance for strong tastes.
