Well it's your 21st birthday, so you need a god damn Freddy Kruger.
Take a martini glass and pour 1 oz (unless otherwise noted) of the following liquors, in order and layered:
-
Grenadine
-
Midori
-
Amaretto
-
Jose Cuervo
-
Jim Beam
-
Jack Daniels
-
Johnny Walker Red
-
1/2 shot of Bacardi 151
Stick a straw in the drink and start sucking. The sweet liquors coat your throat and you don't taste anything else.
30 seconds later it should all hit your stomach, and then it's time to start celebrating your birthday.

Sunny Delight is one of my favorite drinks. I first had it when I was a small child though my mother would never buy it for me at the store because she claimed it wasn't "real" enough. My first experience had to have been in second grade when Steven Callandria brought it in. I traded my holograph Charizard for his Sunny D and have not looked back since.

Cement Mixer.

HELLO I AM SORRY I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING YOUR PARTY
Nah. Happy birthday, for serious. Also - lots and lots of scotch. Scotch makes you a man. Oh, and make misogynistic jokes at Jordan for me, eh?

Remember beer before liquor never sicker. Liquor before beer, in the clear. Also, try to drink at least 4oz of water with each drink. Dehydration is a big cause of a hang over. Maybe put a jug of water next to your bed so you can drink some in the middle of the night without getting up. My favorite drinks are vodka tonic, white Russian, Jack and Coke, Malibu and Coke and finally the Long Island Iced Tea.

Beer. Try whatever they have, you never know if you'll like something until you try it. The cafe/bar that I frequent changes their selection a lot so I usually try whatever new beer they have when they change. Sometimes I really like it, sometimes I don't, its always fun though.

An abortion. :D

The biggest thing is to try a good variety of shit. I drink Johnnie Walker Black, almost exclusively now, but only after drinking other stuff (sometimes religiously) for several years. Because a lot of dudes are super pretentious about their booze you're going to see a lot of suggestions for single malt scotch, rare liquors, whatever, but just try things with different core ingredients (usually fewer = better) and find out which major liquor you like best. Be sure to try Gin, Whisky, Tequila, and Rum based drinks. Whichever one of those works out best, roll with it.
Assuming you're a male, other dudes might give you shit at some point about whatever your current drink preference might be... just remember this; J.F.K. drank daiquiris and got laid more than anybody.
Enjoy, and good luck.

Mix equal parts Everclear, Bacardi 151, Goldschlager, and Moonshine.

Isn't that called instant death or something?

I like to call it The Comatose Stripper.

Skip all the bullshit, go right to scotch whisky (spelled without an 'e'). Ice, no ice--I'll let you decide.
THIS,
A good scotch straight up or on the rocks is a drink enjoyed and savoured and to be sipped.
The bars I go to are not calm or quiet enough for sipping. If this is the guy's 21st, he'd better not be going to some frumpy "olde towne pub" bullshit.
This. It's going to be a party atmosphere. Scotch is more of a "Oi... long day. Get me a glass with two ice cubes, a bottle of my 'medicine' and turn on Mythbusters." type thing. 21st birthdays are more of a "CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG! SHOOT THIS! SMOKE THIS! DRINK THIS THEN LICK THIS AND DO THE HOKEY POKEY!" type thing.
I disagree you start out early in the night with friends at a pub, have some food, a pint of guiness, a glass of scotch......AND THEN you go to the club and get trashed on cheap beer and wimmens...
But not on a 21 run. HIT THAT SHIT HARD!
that was the second drink i ordered at a bar when i turned 21. first was a killians. i like to consider myself a classy drinker at the very least, and bartenders always look at me funny when i order a glass of their finest scotch, as that i am a young guy, and look even younger.
Be sure to make this your first drink. There will be plenty of time for getting trashed later, but the whisky deserves to be enjoyed.
No love for Irish? Bushmills is pretty good, not sure how easy it is to find though.
If you put ice in single malt you deserve a strong kick to the scrotum.
Too true--no ice in your single malt, please. I've decided to not let OP decide, after all.
