Another thought.

Try a vodka and diet coke (sometimes refered to as a skinny bitch).
This is actually a pretty good drink for a few reasons.
1) For some reason vodka and diet coke actually taste pretty good together, but I can't stress enought, that good vodka is essential. And no, Smirnoff is NOT good vodka. Belvedere is best, but if you'd rather not spend that kind of coin Absout, or Silent Sam are MUCH better than Smirnoff and about the same price.

2) Lower Calories. Yup, apparently drinking a dozen Vodka and Cokes every night may cause you to get fat. Drinking diet may help in this regard.

3) Easier hangovers. Less sugar, at least in my case = less hangover.

Another tip to help you find drinks you like better is to lay off of the rail booze. If they are using a gun to pour your liquor, chances are it's not very good.

Be specific, some examples are below:

Instead of ........ Try Asking for
Rye and Coke .....Crown and Coke
Rum and Coke .....Bacardi and Coke
Gin and Tonic ......Tanquery and Tonic
Vodka and Coke ...Absolut and Coke

Better booze is generally worth it.
