Discussion favorite alcohol or mixed drink?

[eggsausagerice]

i'm thinking of trying to buy a bottle of something for myself at home, but since i'm a lightweight and relatively new to drinking i don't really know what to get and i don't have friends who drink (or drink in general). i would like to drink at home to save money, since i have social
anxiety if i go to a bar. i like midori sours and think bourbon/whiskey is too harsh lol. i probably don't like dark liquor.

I've never made anything personally besides a few easy ones.
I'm mostly drinking whiskey or vodka straight, sometimes beer; could always buy white claws or something like that to drink with on the side if you wanted to get drunk quickly.
Jager and energy drinks are my favorite. I like it with red bull but monster also works.

Water with lemon and mint is kinda cool to drink

My favorite beer was always Guinness Blonde, followed closely by a seasonal Great Lakes lemon hefeweizen. My favorite cheap beer is Molsen; it's scuzzy, but endearing. A lot of the Sam Adams seasonals are solid, and a little brewery called MadTree has a seasonal, coffee-infused blonde lager called Coffee Table that's delicious, but they don't run it every year. The classic Guinness stout is always solid, but drinking stouts in warm weather feels like chugging motor oil to me.

As far as mixed drinks go, I like a gin and tonic or a whiskey and Coke. I like whiskey, scotch, brandy, and bourbon generally.

My favorite wines tend to be ports (despite not having a sweet tooth), or dark red blends, regardless of season. I rarely purchased wine for myself, but the value of learning how to pair wine with meals shouldn't be underestimated.

Sorry for the ramble; this sort of thing was my profession for a long time. Believe it or not, I have only been drunk twice in my life.

I like gin and tonic. I mainly drink cans of guinness though. G and T and guinness are the only things that dont give me horric hangovers when i drink to excess.
