That's because tai behaves like an adjective. (or rather, it is a suffix adjective)
For example you say "tenki GA samui" - "weather is cold"

To negate tai, you say taku nai, for example "sushi ga tabetaku nai", the same way you would say "tenki ga samuku nai".

Btw. sind nomu or taberu still are verbs, "osake O nomitai" is also ok. my japanese friends say "ga" just stresses the WANT to drink a bit more, while wo emphasizes "drink" a bit more.

With Verb+tai you can use both GA and O.
