as long as you're drinking responsibly, here are some tips.
even if you don't love the taste of beer, there's no harm in checking it out. If you are in college there will be lots of times where there is only beer around and you're forced to drink it. Something light like Coors Light, Miller Light, or Pabst Blue Ribbon isn't too bad to start on, because they don't taste like much.
If you positively can't stand beer, you could check out some of those smirnoff-type drinks, like mike's hard lemonade, or the jack daniels downhome punch. I personally hate these because they are way, way too sweet and give me a stomachace, but many people do like them.
If you're not into that, there are some options in hard alcohol. Vodka would be a good choice because it is relatively tasteless, and goes with almost any mixer. You have tons of options: Vodka and cranberry with a lime (a "cape codder;") Vodka tonic; Vodka and Coke, Vodka and Orange Juice, whatever you feel like.
You could also check out any type of flavored vodkas. They also go really well with everything, and because they have so much flavor you can just mix them with soda water or something mild/tasteless.
If you like more fruity-sweet drinks, Rum is also a good option. It goes really well with pineapple juice, coke, etc.
Whiskey, bourbon, or scotch is a good choice if you like things less sweet.
A margarita is a drink everyone likes as well.
Honestly, the best way to go is just to try things out. Try things that your friends are having and see if you like them. It is always better to have the same drink as the person you are with--I dunno, it's like bonding.
I'm partial to wine as well....try Merlot or Riesling, they are both pretty mild.
hope this helps but remember to drink responsibly no matter what

Well since you are not sure what you like try a few different things and see what you do like. Ask a friend that has something to get a taste or to make you one and go from there. Or at one of the gatherings have someone who knows how to make some different things play bartender and then you can have them make you some things and find out what you like. Also a good way is go to a bar or restaurant and try a drink or 2 from the menu, lots of places have the names and what alcohol is in it so you will know. As always if you do go out have someone else drive or seriously have only 1 or 2 drinks.

well considering that you dont really drink I would stick with a good old fashion rum and coke. Thats the most popular. Also if you havent drank liquor before I wouldnt sugguest an adios. You will be gone for a couple of days. LOL
But yeah try rum and coke, sex on the beach, midori sours anything that is fruity at least you dont taste the alcohol and another thing never mix your drinks. Trust me on this. You will get so sick and well lets just say one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR the bathroom floor that is. LOL
oh and another suggestion if you want something that taste good like a shot or something ask for a cherry bomb those are so good. Its vodka, redbull, and cherry liquor

A wine spritzer is a nice way to enjoy alcohol but not too much of it all at once.
If you like Coke, you can try a rum and Coke on ice.
If you like juice, you can try your favorite juice mixed with vodka (on ice).
Frozen drinks mixed with alcohol are also fun.
Finally, you may not enjoy the taste of any alcoholic beverages. If that is the case, don't feel lame. Drink a soda, tea or water. You don't have to drink booze to be cool.

You just need to have a few things, Beer, usually a light beer, some red and white wine, and the liquor.........you can get a few bottles that can be mixed with many different things....I would suggest that you have Vodka, Rum, and a bottle of whisky....with those three you should be able to make most basic drinks.......but don't forget the mixers

How about go with your taste bud first. If you like sweet things then go for the sweet liquors or drinks. Watch out for those thou, cause the sweeter they are the more apt you are to drink more.
Try different things and relax.......There are tons of drinks to drink Dont be in a hurry to do them all at once.....Good luck!

You need to figure out what kind of alcohol you do and don't like. Meaning.... Do you like vodka, rum, tequila and so on. There are also different flavors of liquors which makes it interesting as well.
If you know you like fruity drinks go in that direction. Like I really enjoy vodka drinks. So for me I go with a mixed drink with vodka. My favorite is called a twisted cola. It's cola (diet for me) with vanilla vodka. But Vodka mixed with lemonaide is yummy and refreshing. I know that I don't care for tequila. So I don't order margaritas. I'll have a daiquiri because it's made with rum.
Anyway, what you need to try to do is figure out what liquor you like and go from there. AND while you are at the party ask to take a sip of a friend's drink. Tell the bartender I like drinks with Vodka. Got any suggestions?

You can buy mixed drinks at liquor stores. Sometimes when people mix drinks at frat parties, sometimes you don't know what you are getting. I find Mike's hard lemon aid, and the spiked ice teas to be very good, and give you a nice little buzz.
