Whatever you end up drinking, remember to keep it in check. Your night can quickly be ruined by slugging down too many of whatever, and then you become "that guy". We've all been there.

Just try things. Eventually you'll narrow down the things you like, don't make you feel like crap the next day. It's a years long process. Enjoy the hell out of it :)

If you like olives, dirty martinis are the best.
I'm getting into single malt scotches. Delicious, if you like the taste of burning wood.
- Wood? That's peat, son. If you can't handle it, go for the lowland stuff.ETM

Whatever you drink, you'll look manly if you stay in control. Don't drink fernet, that's for posers.

Fernet + Light Coke. The perfect equation.
You can drink a bottle and next day go to work.

"...you won't have to listen to some snob proclaim that you shouldn't dilute your whisky with ice"
I'm not a snob by no means but I am always perplexed by people who order the finest of whisky only to have it diluted with coke, water, whatnot.
Don't get me wrong: have whisky precisely the way you want it.
But what is the point in ordering something so very specific if you're mixing it to taste different anyways?
Why spring for X and Y whisky that spent Z and ZZ years in a barrel, then proceed to whisk around some varying amount of coke and ice in that thing.
Do you put ice in your finer wines too?
You can, if you like. Of course.
It just seem unfitting to me. Perhaps I am a snob.So anyways, OP, the fun part of drinks is that you'll have a great number of times to find out yourself what you like.
Have them all.Since you're on qbn, and possible interested in design, why not buy a few random bottles of the juice with labels and packaging from Stranger & Stranger? Found in neat lickerstores.

- Sorry, didn't mean to Single (malt, eh) you out. Specially not for JW. It's just a common line, the water/ice/coke one.Peter

I'm Irish so I may be biased... But if you want to drink like a pro.
Jameson on the rocks. with a cheap beer.. I usually go with PBR or High Life. By the time the ice in your drink melts you'll be chugging that shit. Clean, hard-hitting, smooth irish whiskey.

gin and tonic. I'd stick with that.
