ELI5: People are able to consume large amounts of beer, sometimes even a gallon or more in 1 sitting. But to drink a gallon of plain water is extremely difficult. Why is it easier to drink so much beer?

It's the time span that matters. You don't drink gallon of beer in 5 minutes. If you had to drink a gallon of water on the time span of whole evening (like you do with the beer) you would most likely do it. As others said beer is basically a flavoured water with a little bit of ethanol. If you can drink certain amount of beer you can definitely drink the same amount of water.
