Unless you have a closet full of these (and I know that someone reading this actually does - and there's nothing wrong with that), you should probably think about what libations to serve your guests on Super Bowl Sunday. A good rule of thumb is to have a variety of booze, because odds are that you will have a variety of guests:- Beer - You need a lot of it because that is what most people will drink. Undoubtedly you will have quite a few "I'm just going to have a few beers because I have to go to work tomorrow" people there. In order to appease the beer snobs, best to buy 1/3 higher end hops (such as Lazy Magnolia or Abita), and 2/3 domestic.
- Wine - Personally, I think that drinking wine during the Super Bowl should be punishable by death because they just don't mix. However, if you are serving foie gras au torchon and oysters en brochette, then by all means pour the Georges de Latour. Otherwise, they got Yellowtail, and they will like it.
- Liquor - Some might say, "No one will be drinking hard liquor on a Sunday," and they'd be wrong. When the guy who lost his bet on the coin toss then loses his bet on the 1st quarter over/under, he is going to need a Woodford on the rocks and plenty of them. Stick with the basics: bourbon, vodka, rum, gin, and scotch.
- Mixers - Coke, diet coke, sprite, tonic, soda, orange juice, and bloody mary mix. You should probably have a few lemons and limes too.
Done and done.

You may want to make a Gin Bucket.
1 Bucket
1 Handle Seagram's Extra Dry
2 2 Liters Sprite
Loads of Ice
3 Lemons halfed
4 Limes Halfed
Combine in said bucket
Use Turkey Basters to squirt goodness in mouth.
Fun for the kids.
Rene suggested to me that a gallon of White Russian from your local Daiquiri & Creams always hits the spot. They're really good on weeknights.
