Not too many people can pull off beer while acting sophisticated. Learn about apertifs and find one you like.

I'd love to know how one acquires the taste for Scotch...or even gin.
But then again, I like jaegermeister and my friends always cringe if I buy them shots of it.

Scotch is pretty much through brute force - although if you enjoy other, similar alcohols first, it will help you understand how to improve your palette.
If you just don't like the pine/juniper/etc flavor of gin, you'll probably never improve - but the key to enjoying gin is proper mixing to advance the flavor, rather than mask it. Also don't drink shitty gin.

Ugh, jaegermeister, I hate that stuff. It always makes my stomach feel nasty.
I don't know how I got a taste for scotch. I've always liked whiskey, and at some point I just tried scotch and liked it.

First, understand that a lot of the drinks you may have loved in college (Jello Shots and that kind of thing come to mind), are pretty much "beginners" drinks -- and kind of trite.
Look at a bartenders guide and maybe try a couple of traditional drinks and see what you like.
I don't think you'll ever go wrong (socially) with a martini, gin and tonic, Manhattan, Scotch, Bourbon or other drink that any mixologist in the world will understand -- not just somebody at a college bar.
Oh, and avoid anything with little paper umbrellas in them.
As an aside, it great to watch a real mixologist at work. Someone who is a career bartender and knows how to make something more than throwing in a shot and adding something fizzy.

Any true fratter knows that the only acceptable drinks are Bourbon neat/rocks, Scotch near/rocks, Mint Juleps, Bloody Marys, Gin and Tonics, and Southern Sunrises.
