Classic Bartending Drinks

What kind of alcohol do you like in one night at the bar, club, etc?
I recently went to bartending school. He completed and passed my test with a 100%! My only problem is that we learned from the "classic" drinks. I have an idea of what people actually order these days. What are some names of the drinks are called when the waiter asks what you like?
I can ask an Eskimo in flames. Can not get enough of those things.
