Amaretto is an amazing concoction that can make tons of great drinks. Mix it with bourbon, lime, and soda and you'll have effectively a coke, without the coke. There are a lot of other liquors that few people even think to try because all they drink in college is cheap vodkas and Jack Daniel's.
If you're only getting your booze from the bottom shelf at the bar, then it's gonna cost a lot and it's gonna taste like shit.
If you buy your own liquor to drink at home, it's not expensive to get relatively decent stuff. That said, you kinda need to do some due diligence to know what you're getting. For example, Angostura used to be the gold standard for aromatic bitters. Now their recipe is a bunch of artificial flavorings and dyes, and the *actual* good bitters cost less. When Tito's first hit the market, it was pretty good vodka for bottom shelf pricing. Then it got popular, the price went up, and the quality went down...
