Whiskey/Gin problem.... (and kinda NSFW pics to help)

Seriously! I like Jack and Cokes sometimes, and when I'm already drunk I'll down just about anything. But I don't like starting off by taking shots of jack or other hard alcohols besides vodka. Is it a matter of aquiring the taste? Or is there a drink similar to jack n coke that I can enjoy?






and the face is meh, but the rack is prime
