Does anybody ever read these things? Lets talk drinks.

General
Or more accurately, mine?
Anyways I'm feeling a nice combo of hyper and buzzed and I gotta say I like it. I think I'll ramble about what kind of drinks I like and maybe y'all can chime in with your favorites in the comments section.
Lets start with beers: I may be well on my way to becoming a bit of a beer snob, but I gotta say if the only beers your are drinking, (and you folks over the pond think Americans only drink) Bud and Miller, and Natty Light, or any beer that needs to run constant T.V. commercials, you're missing out on so many good brews out there. That's not to say all cheap beers are bad -i'll get to that later- but if you take your time to go to a good beer store, go to a beer tasting, or be brave and order the crazy local brew you may be surprised at what is out there. My general guide when ordering a beer that I've never heard of before is that I order the one with the worst sounding name on the menu. My rational is that if the name is awful sounding or in very bad taste, then the beer must be inversely awesome to compensate. So go try new and strange brews. You may find one you love, and you may find one that makes you gag.
Oh, and cheap beers... Right now I'm drinking a Miller Lite Lime and I really like it. Cheap, mass produced, and I like it! Oh, but I got rid of the "Lite" by spiking it with a lil bit of Everclear. :D Yeeeeah! You can't taste the difference, but whooo-BOY! As far as alcohol content, a Begin beer hasn't got shit on this one here. :D If you're looking for a good buzz of just one glass of beer, I highly recommend it.
And then there is Rum. Oh how I love me my rum! I'm a bit limited where I live as to the varity of rums I can buy, but I'm always trying new ones. I can always count of Capt Morgan's spiced or silver, or reserve, I like them all, but I Love Black Seal rum. It's a dark rum and just has a lot more flavor than Myer's Dark and is much smoother. Makes for amazing Dark 'n' Stormys.
Oh, but that brings us to mixed drinks and I could go on forever about those.... So what's your favorite drinks? Share them! Steal them from others! Drink and be merry!

But alright, favorites? Stockholm Special Brew, Corona and Three Hearts for beer. I dont really drink other stuff
1. 1/3 (equal parts) mango soda, orange soda, and 2% milk
2. 1/2 Cup of ice, 2 cups milk, two hand fulls of strawberries, 3 shots of chocolate syrup, and 6 scoops of ice cream. Adjust ingredients as needed
3. 1/3 (equal parts) sprite, fruit punch, orange juice, served with ice.
4. 1/3 (equal parts) orange juice, apple juice, pineapple juice, served with ice.
5. Rootbeer (add first) half way up your favorite glass, with a scoop of ice cream.
6. Tbsp of hazelnut hot cocoa, 2 tbsp regular hot, mixed into hot whole milk. Adjust cocoas as needed.
7. 1/4 Cherry grenadine and 3/4 gingerale
Now add booze (to each numbered):
1, 3, 4 7: Flavored Rums
2, 6: Godiva Liqueur (either chocolate or white)
If you are looking for a buzzed/hyper mix I might suggest having a 'Smurf' ( or 2 or 4) - 2 parts Blue Full Throttle energy drink and 1 part Dragonberry(whatever that stuff is...)
