Awww.... thanks!

Have you had Jack Daniels Punch-Type drinks or Wyder's Cider? I think I'll get one of those since I haven't tried them yet.

I like Hornsby's cider much more...

The Jack Daniels drinks are weak, but ok i guess.

I think you should bring over a few 40's.

If you want something a little more classy go for Old English without the paper bag.

Prairie fires are nasty nasty shots.

Get two sampler bottles of 151 proof rum. You'll swear you just swallowed gasoline.

And then there are shots of stuff. No mixing required, really quick.

-geoff

Here is a decent list of stuff you don't have to mix but it isn't beer:

Wine Coolers (many kinds of them, but i guess you don't want them)
Wyder's Cider
Mike's Hard Limonade (he may make hard cider too)
Smirnoff Ice (tastes good to me actually - weak lemonade with a little carbonation)
Bicardi Silver (also decent, kind of a fruitier sprite type drink)
Captain Morgan's Gold (never had it, can't be as good as morgan & coke though)
Jack Daniels punch (many varieties, some are ok but haven't had them in many, many years)
Jack's Hard Cola (never had it)
Zima (a big hit with some women when I was in college...very spritish but a nasty after taste..rusty almost..imo)

I would go with Bicardi Silver or Smirnoff Ice of the stuff I've tried.

I'd go with Diablo or Smirnoff Ice.
SkyY blue is too sweet, bacardi silver tastes like nail polish remover.
I don't like beer either and prefer hard alcohol, so I would suggest chasing your malternative with shots of some kind: Jose Cuervo 1800 gold, or jagermiester, or some good puerto rican rum.

Pick up a bottle of Melon liquor and a six pack (or two) of mountain dew. I usually do 2-4 shots of melon liquor (my tolerance is so high even 8 shots of melon liquor doesn't get me drunk) per 12 oz of mt dew.

Remember when you were little, and they gave you the bubblegum flavored antibiotic? Thats what this tastes like.

Do not get the Jack's Hard Cola. Why not just buy Coke (or Pepsi, or Bruce Lee) and mix your own Jack and Coke?

For just bottled drinks that aren't beer, take the suggestions for the HORNSBY's Hard Apple Cider or Draft Cider. Tastes like Apple Juice, good alcohol content as well.

Mimosa...

Orange juice and champagne. But go easy! Champagne can leave you with a mighty hangover if you drink more than a couple of glasses.

GreenGodDammit
A friend of mine made this in college for a party. Lime Sherbet and Vodka. I kid you not you can't taste and vodka. It's great for first time drinkers. They never knew what hit them. We even had people ask where the alcoholic drinks were with a cup of GreenGodDammit in hand. Heh!

Eh... we decided to going to BJs for drinks next week instead. I used to work for corporate office! I wonder if I can pull of the 'ol hey "Paul Montenko sends his best" at the manager and get a 50% discount. Heheh.
