Do you mean a well drink? That would be any of the house liquors. It would be like ordering a rum and coke or vodka tonic, those are well drinks. If you ordered Captain and coke or Kettle one and tonic, that's a call drink.

"Well" usually refers to the liquors that the bar has to make the standard mixed drinks. A well drink is a drink that is made with well liquor. (well liquors are often kept under the bar)
A screw driver is a good example and vodka is a very standard well liquor.
There are 100s if not 1000s of well drinks - almost always any drink that is made with vodka, rum, whiskey and, in some bars, gin.
Depending on the bar, well liquors are usually more generic/less expensive brands.
"Top Shelf" refers to the liquors that are often displayed on the shelf behind the bar.

A well drink is something made with the house (or cheapest) type of alcohol at the bar rather than specifying a call brand. It's ordering a gin and tonic and getting something like Gordon's rather than specifying Tanqueray and tonic.

Well drinks are usually mixed alcoholic drinks that use the "well" liquor meaning the cheaper, low shelf alcohol (ie Smirnoff as opposed to Ketel One etc.) Usually the well drinks give you a headache the next day and they are cheaper so you have to weigh your finances against whether or not you want to be in pain the next day!

Well drinks are made with what's called well liquors...cheap brands of vodka, gin, etc...
If you want a top shelf liquor in your drink, you shold specify the brand you want, (Stoli martini, Bombay gin & tonic, etc.) otherwise you could get the cheap stuff.
