Need drinking advice!

[Brad]

Ok so this coming April I turn 21 years young, and like the big loser I am I've waited for this date so I can buy something from the ABC store for the first time without sending someone else in.

As I've never had much time to browse the selection personally I've stuck mainly to bourbon whiskey and vodka over the years. I'm a big fan of Jim Beam and while I don't drink often I do keep a 5th in my desk at all times in case I feel a cold coming on.

So anyway I plan on buying lots of liquor come April 16th...plan on throwing a big house party too. I need to a nice selection of drinks for my company and myself... My company will require hard drinks as the stuff is like water to them.

So I need three things from you guys;

1) A suggestion for an easy mix-drink that I can mix prior to the party. I want to make about 5 gallons of something (I was thinking PJs (everclear + fruit punch)). We drink PJs and Green Monster all the time so I was hoping someone knew a similar drink that I haven't tried before.

2) A suggestion for drinks I can mix at the party to impress the company (and women) .

3) Some suggestions for liquor I can serve straight (shots). I'm planning on getting some whiskey and vodka for this purpose but I'd like to have a better variety.
