I love beer. Blue Moon if you want a generic, tasty beer that's everywhere. Shock Tops are pretty much exactly like it but cheaper so I approve of that too. Tuchers are so good... I like it better than Blue Moon. Any hefeweizen is usually pretty good, although I'm definitely partial to Weihenstephaner. Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde is also one of my favs. Jan De Lichte is my latest find and I approve. Not a huge fan of hops or stouts... and I don't like malty beers. I like to stick to the wheats and belgians mostly, although some rye beers are good. I won't say no to some PBR or Coors Light either when I'm broke.

For liquor, vodka and rum. Especially for vodka, you can really taste the difference in quality though. I used to buy bottom shelf vodka a few years back and I can't do that anymore. Kahlua, Bailey's, Frangelico, peach schnapps, Malibu, and pretty much any liquer all have my stamp of approval.

Oh, and wines. I prefer light and sweeter whites. Moscato is my fav, although there's a winery in Southern Illinois that makes a great sweet white - check out Alto Vineyard's Shawnee Gold sometime.
