I believe guys should drink straight alcohol without any mix. I drink cognac. I have friends that drink scotch. I have a few friends that drink vodka. A few grappa drinkers. All straight. The vodka drinkers sometimes with a little water.
I'm not a fan of the anise-flavored drinks but I've known guys that drank them. It seems like every nationality has their own anise drink and if your really associate with your nationality then it is fine as a way to signal that. If you're Greek then drinking ouzo is ok. If you're a mangiacake less so.
What you pick is a matter of what suits you. You experiment and eventually you land on something. It should obviously be something you actually enjoy drinking first and considerations and about image second.
If you have to have mix then water, tonic, or coke.
Guys should never drink anything with milk or juice. If you're on vacation in the Caribbean and drinking outside the juice rule can be relaxed a little. Mile never.
Beer is neutral. It gives you no advantage but also no loss.
