Sorry, never been to New Orleans. Might want to ask Leon, though.

The only things I've tried so far and like are Abita and vodka with lemon. Thank you for your suggestions and I just have one more thing to ask. Know of any good places on Bourbon St?

@Louisiana Jones: I would say to start with, avoid the sweet stuff. This means novelty crap lika Avalanche, Aftershock, Pucker, most shots, etc. Most of those are for getting drunk quickly for people who actually hate the taste of alcohol. They can also sneak up on you pretty damn quick and leave you not only drunker than you intended to be but the sugars are gonna make the hangover the next day a stone cold bitch. 

And if it's a drink that originated or derived from Sex and the City, then you may as well just shoot yourself now.

Easy drinks for the first timer: vodka tonics, gin and tonics, gin rickeys, vodka soda... notice a trend here? If you're going to drink spirits you want the good stuff. Cheap booze is only for mixing; good booze is for savoring. 

(Incidentally, this is why people hate tequila. They drink shit like Jose Cuervo, get sick on it, never touch the stuff again. If they drank something good, like Milagro Silver, they could sip it straight with a slice of lime, no need for the salt etc.)

Your best bet is to go to a bar - and not on a busy night or at happy hour - get to know the bartender, and start asking for recommendations. And if you can find a good *cocktail* bar, you can start trying classic mixed drinks like Old Fashioned, Manhattans, Sidecars, Sazeracs, etc.

@Louisiana Jones: Nobody Important and Fungusmonkey's recommendations are pretty serious stuff... for someone who hasn't had a drink, they would probably be a shock to your palate, especially if you're drinking them straight. I'm not a fan of whiskey (though I like to have a Scotch with my Dad every now and then), and straight vodka can be pretty tough, unless its flavored vodka. (I, personally, order flavored vodka, neat, chilled when I'm out drinking, because a lot of places mix their drinks pretty weak, and I got sick of paying for glasses of tonic water. But I don't do it in shots.) 

 

What types of flavors do you like? Do you like super-sweet stuff? Citrusy stuff? Beer? Wine? Personally, I don't like beer. I've had many different types, and it's just not my thing. I'm a huge fan of red wine, and I like white wine okay.

 

Drinks are all a matter of personal taste, and of style. If you want to be James Bond, you're gonna have to drink martinis. :P 

 

Might I suggest a gin and tonic? It's more on the citrusy side of things, and you'll always look cool when you order one.

@Louisiana Jones. I'll tell you what Fungusmonkey recommended me: Redbreast 12 year old (whiskey) and Monopolowa (vodka).

 

That was one interesting blog post. I need to try that if I ever go to Disney World. Although, I'd probably be smashed after three countries seeing as I weigh as much as an anorexic girl.

I have just turned 21 and I was wondering if you could help me out and suggest what kind of drinks I should start out with?

I think every Spillio who goes to Disney World should be required to recreate this trip.  They can't kick us ALL out.
