I would have to take an inventory to answer accurately, but here is a general description:

Liquor

Several types of bourbon. Usually three or four types of single-barrel. Currently I believe I have Blanton's, Booker's, JD Single Barrel, Black Maple Hill 14-year and perhaps one or two others. Also usually have a 1.75L bottle of JD, and sometimes some assorted others like Gentleman Jack or Maker's Mark.

A few tequilas. I always have one bottle of something good (currently I think I have Patron, not sure what type), plus some assorted others. I believe I currently have Cuervo 1800 and a 1.75L bottle of Cuervo gold.

Vodka. 1.75L bottle of Stoli, plus a few assorted others. Catwoman has been into martinis, so I believe I have some flavored stoli and absolut. No superpremiums currently in stock; I'll fix that eventually but see no urgent need.

Rum. Usually have 1.75L bacardi silver and malibu. Also have some cuban rum currently.

Scotch. I am not a scotch drinker, but I keep it in stock. Usually have something premium or superpremium, plus something more "regular." I think currently I am down to a bottle of glenmorangie and a bottle of Chivas.

Other whiskeys. I usually stock some others. Usually crown royal. Also have Jameson and some others.

Other assorteds, currently including (perhaps among others): Bailey's, Grand Marnier, Vermouth, Midori, Kahlua.

Wine

Usually keep at least a case of an "everyday" Chardonnay like Kendall-Jackson. Also usually have 6-12 bottles of the good stuff.

Usually stock about 6 bottles of Pinot Noir. Currently have more because we bought some cases in Napa recently. Usually only what we really enjoy, not "everyday" stuff unless we have leftovers from large parties when we didn't want to serve expensive wine to lots of people.

Usually stock about 6-12 bottles of Cabernets and Meritages. Same stocking philosophy as Pinot.

Assorted non-French bottles, no more than 6-12 at a time. Mostly Italian, nothing French unless it is non-fungible champagne. Usually keep 1-3 bottles of the good stuff for special occasions.

Beer

I do not stock more than 2-3 cases at a time. Typically will have a case of an everyday beer like Budweiser, although I will go long stretches only drinking something better. (I have been drinking nothing but Newcastle and Dos Equis special lager for the last few weeks.) Usually have leftovers from parties, a few bottles of this and that. Usually have 3-5 types of beer in the house and it really varies.
