You didn't choose to be an english (or any other langage) native speaker, but it's not genetic either. Most tastes are like that. Some are ingrained from early childhood - even linked to what the pregnant mother ate, sometimes. Others develop over time, in a given social context. The taste of alcohol is a good example of a "social" taste: nobody likes beer or wine as a child, but we associate it with a lot of positive things (good meals, parties with friends, good memories, a set of values to which we adhere [drinking is "manly"], etc...) and so we "learn" to like alcohol. It is neither genetic nor a conscious phenomenon. Coffee is another good example.
There are many interesting studies on the subject, it has been studied from a sociological, psychological, biological and even antropological point of view.
