Actually, Screaming Purple Jesus is Purple Jesus with liquid LSD, or so I've been told.
For Cheap yet palatable liquor, for the most part, you get what you pay for. Really good beer is not much of a step down in price. Do not drink cheap scotch, unless you're into self abuse.
Handles of Jim Beam white are plenty cheap ($15 or $16 on sale), mix well, and aren't disgusting straight.
Two Fingers Tequila is your best bang for the buck. It's comparable to Cuervo for taste, perhaps even a bit smoother, and, because it's an off brand, it's about $5 a bottle less.
Vodka is vodka. If you're drinking it straight, spring for Absolut, Stolichnaya, or Finlandia, but don't get suckered into paying an extra 10 bucks for a pretty bottle. Smirnoff, Popov, Luksosawa (real Polish 'tater vodka), Wyborowya, are all perfectly good for mixing.
I'm not a big fan of gin, and you definitely get what you pay for.
Blended whiskey: I have almost no use for. Jim Beam 5 Star is perfectly acceptable and dirt cheap. I have a friend who swears by Jim Beam Rye.
Don't waste you money on schnapps if money is a concern.
my 2˘. Skaal!
