just to chime in...
Over here in Jersey, we usually have Miller Lite as our main generic all-you-can-have for one low price deal. We then offer Mike's Hard and Coronas as an alternative for those taht want to spend a little more and get a little more. Test tube shots are also a great crowd pleaser because a) they're cheap, and when you sell them for a dollar each you're basicially doubling what you paid for them, b) they taste good to chicks, and if the chicks are happy the boys are happy and everyone's happy, and 3) they're weak as hell, but most beer zombies are dumb, and will think they're getting a shot and you don't have to worry about them getting too drunk because I haven't heard of anyone being put over their limit by them. You'll never hear "oooooo man.... I shouldn't have had that last test tube last night!" from anyone the next morning. Ever.
And as a side note about the mixed drink things. We used to do that a few years ago at parties. We had a dollar-drink bar w/ things like screwdrives, mudslides, gingertini (and invention of our own), "Rowan Iced Tea," etc. The people LOVED it but we usually ended up losing money on the deal (even though the shit was way watered down we had our tricks so they couldn't tell). But line is that it's too much of a hassle, too risky, and not profitable enough unless you overcharge, which sort've breaks down the whole system. Best of luck to any who are thinking of trying this, I could offer some practical advise if you want.
