Alcohol is bad. It makes everyone better looking, except you.

Also, if you don't like the taste of pine needles, don't consume a gin and tonic.

Some Whiskey, followed by a shot of Tequila, followed by a shot of Vodka - preferably Finlandia brand Vodka.
That way you get drunk on WTF.
;)

But seriously, don't feel a need to try and get fancy drinks or anything, unless others are paying for you. You probably know what types of alcohol you do and do not like, so unless you just want to try mixed shots or things you haven't had before, it really is no difference besides you will be paying much more for the drink. :)

White Russian because it's The Dude approved, but mostly because it's yummy.

Caucasian's are delicious.
't'is a drink a make quite often. Love making them potent too.

I use:
Kahlua Especial (70proof, versus the 35 or 40 proof standard)
Stoli
splash of milk.

Most often end up making tan russians unless I made it a little too potent (no such thing right? :p) and end up adding too much milk to compensate.

It just tastes so damn gooood. Probably my favorite mixed drink, closely followed by Gin and Tonic.
The nights I end up getting quite a bit beyond tipsy are when I go for my gold standard Gin drink - Tonic and Gin. Reversed, you see? That means the ratios are reversed, see? :p

One of my worst occasions was making a solo cup was basicallyhalf full of Gin first, then using what they had which was tom collins ingredients, which was adding the club soda till the cup was 3/4 full, then a splash of the tom collins mix to make it easier to drink faster. Granted, I sipped it over awhile. Friends woke me up after finding that I passed out on the garage floor - apparently wandered in there at some point. :D

Crown Royal and Coke or Ginger Ale.
Tanqueray No. 10 and Tonic water.
Glenlivet 12 yr and a splash of Drambuie (Rusty nail)
Sauza tres generationes one ice cube

Anyone who thinks gin only tastes like forest hasn't tried any of the good gins. All gins taste quite different from each other, especially Hendricks and Tanqueray No. 10 (compared to beefeater (blarg yuk!!)). I've found Bombay Sapphire to be a great martini gin esp. with 3 habinero/jalapeno stuffed olives served 'dirty'.

Isn't that the whole point in drinking?

Anyway, I'd recommend a Kamikaze. 'Twas the first drink (well, set of drinks) that got me totally obliterated and eventually spewed with vigor. Oh the memories.
