Are you going for 21 drinks? If so 2 recommendations:
1) the signature sheet. Have a friend in charge of a pen and paper. Before each drink have him or her write it down and then you sign off on it. It's a great little nostalgia piece to remind you of what you will have forgotten. And looking at those signatures later will make you laugh.
2) Save the dairy based mixers for later in the night. If you are mixing a bunch of drinks, those are the most likely to come back on you. That is both good and bad as, done too early, it might end your run before necessary, but done later it can allow you to rally or just save you from a much worse hangover.
As for drinks, its been awhile since I've been on a 21 run (old fogey) but if you really have limited experience drinking, I would start with a shot of vodka. If you don't hate it work on some mixed drinks from that family. Grape knee high is a safe start as is a screwdriver. Once you have worked through some vodka drinks move to whisky or gin. If you tend to prefer beer go with whisky, if you tend to prefer wine or cider go with gin. Again if you like it, work on some drinks from that family. For whisky, jack and coke, whisky sour, 7 & 7 are easy drinks to down. I am not a gin person, but gin & tonic, martinis, cap & coke.
By this point, you shouldn't be coherent enough to be making your own decisions so just keep up with the signature sheet. Oh and if any of your friends try to convince you to drink something with a spicy sounding name along with a "cement mixer", punch them squarely in the jaw. You're drunk and 21, you can get away with it and they deserve it.
