21. Rum is a good choice.

Gin is too, if you like the taste of juniper.

If you want to drink your liquor straight, Jaeger is a good choice. Malibu rocks, too. It's rum, but watered down slightly (30%ABV) and flavored. Malibu is also excellent for mixing, especially the Mango flavor.

American vodka is boat cleaner anyway until you get into the higher price ranges. It's not put through enough stripping runs and it tastes like sweaty socks soaked in nail polish remover.

Whatever you choose, be careful until you get used to what you're drinking. You'll get a lot drunker a lot faster off this than you do beer, and it's easy to go overboard.
