Default Need alchohol suggestions, brother coming home from Iraq

He has been in Iraq since March 06, was initially scheduled to return at the end of March07, but had his stay extended till July12(followed by 2week debriefing at a US military base). While bad in its own right, ended up being a major beat, as he was going to be the best man in our cousin's wedding July7th and is now unable.

I was looking for alcohol suggestions for the party when he gets back, budget of $650-1000, around 15people that will be drinking

Champagne
is Dom Perignon worth the price?

Nice bottle(s) of scotch as a welcome home gift
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to scotch

Assorted other liquor for drinks

Vodka: Stoli is my personal favorite. Sky is ok. Real man DO NOT drink grey goose, sorry

Hennessee is a must imo. If you can get Remy, power to you.

Patron is good, and i don't like tequila.

Don't get champagne unless there's hoes, and even then they should be drinking hard stuff.

Bayleys is good for the girls too, i like to mix it with rum. For rum i suggest Brugal or Barcelo Imperial.

did i leave anything out?

No offense but real men know that vodka is mostly just vodka. The vast majority of expert taste testers can not differentiate between a $50 dollar bottle of Vodka and a $10 bottle when blind taste tested.

The only difference is the perception of quality or lack there of as defined by advertising guru’s that have spent their careers convincing us that water is wine.

I think after serving in military your bro will be more humble, and more "simple" @ least thats how my cousin was. So I would say don't go all out with like 70$ bottles. However you know him better, so use your own discretion.

Also, "any real man know that vodka is vodka"? WTF? Myabe your taste buds don't work.

You guys are too funny, sucked right into the advertising machine. The sad thing is that you will never even know. Why don’t you google what the governments definition of Vodka is.
