What is the best purchaseable bottle for a college student’s taste?

Hello!

I am a college student who enjoys drinkin’ with his friends and likes getting pretty drunk. However, a problem I consistently run into is absolutely hating everything I taste. I’ve tried Malibu, some Smirnoff, quite a few different kinds of beers and wines. I dislike all of it. The only ones I enjoy are the tasty cocktails, but I can only really get those at a bar because I don’t have access to mixers or fridges. I really just want something strong, but that has a tolerable taste that won’t make me wince in pain or burn my nose.

Are there any good “straight from the bottle” type drinks that are strong enough to at least get me tipsy after a drink or two, but aren’t absolutely rancid to taste? I can handle a slight burn, but I worry I won’t ever find something that I like.

What would y’all recommend?
