I can’t finish a beer, get about halfway and it stops tasting good.

I went home on leave from the Navy one year. I was waiting for the ferry to Bremerton. I was old enough now, so I went to the bar and ordered a Wild Turkey (had seen it in Playboy).

One sip and I was turned off of hard stuff. I politely tried to finish it over the next half hour.

That is a bit strange. Your system obviously is allergic to anything with alcohol.
Back in the US, I use to say that my drinking consisted of Scotch in winter and beer in Summer. I did, however, become addicted to Carlo Rossie California red wine that I bought in 4 ltr btls.
When I moved from the US for good in 2004 to Slovakia, I was pretty much a wino, and I could buy red or white wines from the barrel, pumped into 1.5 ltr plastic bottles.
Here in the Philippines, they are not so much into wine, but I can still buy Carlo Rossie and other import wines.
I am now on to drinking a local Sangria, costing about $3 per bottle. When I travel to one of the big cities, I can buy red or white imported wine in 1 ltr cardboard boxes...very easy to carry home.

You probably have a variation in the enzymes that metabolize alcohol. Some people convert alcohol to toxic metabolites making drinking an unpleasant exercise.
