I didn't like it either. Tito's is the only vodka I've tried that made me feel strange.

Here's my typical alcohol inventory:

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whisky
Skyy Vodka
Absolut Vodka
Grey Goose Vodka
Belvedere Vodka
Beefeater Gin
Bombay Sapphire Gin

The beer I typically stock:

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
Stone Brewing IPA
Lagunitas IPA
Racer 5 IPA
Coors Light (aluminum bottles)
Bud Light (aluminum bottles)

Champagne I typically stock:

Roderer Estates Brut ($19.99 @ Bevmo)
Roderer Estates L'ermitage ($46.99 @ Bevmo)
Moet & Chandon Imperial ($39.99 @ Bevmo)

And of course you have to keep fresh mixers on hand:

Kirkland or Ocean Spray Cranberry juice
Simply Limeade
Simply Orange Juice

And last but not least... make sure you have proper glassware, decanters (whisky decanter, wine decanter), shaker, coasters, ice bucket, and champagne bucket. I would not go cheap on these. Whisky rocks are a nice touch. You will also need a Vacu Vin Wine Saver so you can keep your wine from spoiling for a few extra days. Add to the list a "professional" bottle opener, a "rabbit style" wine bottle opener.

Whiskey snifters
Martini glasses
Champagne flutes
Tumblers (short, and tall)
Wine glasses (stemmed and stemless)
I recommend Riedel pilsner glasses for beer, sold at Target
