I drink rum and/or tequila most of the time, but if I want to feel a nice buzz from a drink, I buy a bottle of Yellow Tail wine (Merlot or Shiraz) for 5.98 (at walmart) and have a glass of it. It's the best cheap wine on the market, and doesn't give me a headache, which most cheap wines do.
You should try it. It actually gives me more of a buzz than when I drink rum. I can't speak about their white wines though, as I don't drink white wines.
