Ok folks - tonight I'm hitting a company sponsored casino night thingy - I get a few drinks on the company bill and would like to take advantage. However, I'm a cheap drunk (thanks to generally limited cash) and tend to stick to beer for my alcohol needs.
What are some good drinks that will make it look like I know what I'm doing and won't involve a 280 lb guy walking around with a pink drink and an umbrella?
Why not just stick with beer? It's what you like (presumably) and you know how many it takes to get you loaded (presumably). If you don't have any experience with the hard stuff, the company party is probably not the best place to find out your tolerance.

agreed, worst thing you can do is go to a work social event and try and show how you can handle your liqour and drinking stuff your not used too. stick to the beer, at least that way you know what you can handle.
leave it to someone else to become the butt of office jokes for getting too smashed and making a tit of themselves. just repeat to yourself "rather them than me" and you'll be fine

I agree.
Though I've had numerous people tell me that apparently "Beer is no as classy as mixed drinks", which is complete and utter bullshit.
I'll take my Pintglass of Rickard's Red over all of your "Tequila Sunrises" and "Cosmopolitans" anyday. Bloody Savages.
If you do want to try a mixed drink I'd say go with G+T. Don't drink too much and you're golden. Plus if you really feel like you need to prove your ability to hold your liquor for whatever reason you can switch to Sprite. Whiskey and Coke is good too, but I personally don't really like sugary drinks. Bloody Mary = yummers.
Oh - I should add - I can hold my liquor - just not used to having a full bar of decent stuff available. I tend to to rum & coke or screwdrivers just because rum & vodka are cheap to keep around the house. I enjoy my liquor, not a lightweight so I'm not at risk of making an ass of myself, just want to take advantage of what's there.
Well, just consider shots of some stuff that's usually out of your price range. Stolichnaya instead of Aristocrat, for instance, or a decent tequila instead of Jose.

OOOOOH!
In the OP you said you were a cheap drunk, and I took that as meaning that you don't need a lot to drink to become overly intoxicated. Like my girlfriend.
Ok, well if you're worried about amounts, remember 1.5 oz shot = 1 beer.
As far as drinks go, I've always enjoyed a rye and ginger. An Alabama Slammer is good too... ummm... I wish I had my drink dictionary handy.
Sorry - I was typing quick. Yeah, I meant I'm cheap - I'm not worried about the alcohol's affects, I'm only given a few freebies and I have to drive, so I'll be keeping it to 2ish.

Ya, me too. There was a promotion on, hopefully still, where the vendors were giving away a Rickards Pintglass with each 12.

Then you can have a funny movie of you all drinking ridiculous drinks and giggling insanely.
(That's Polish for 'make me an ice cream', hehe.)
Don't get it on the rocks. Ice cold is how you drink poorer scotches.
I like gin and tonics.
