Whoa. Those are awesome. I am kind of wondering where you store your food though. (Not really.) 
Do you drink it, or just store it?
Dayum, that looks tasty, RancidYak!
I don’t drink any more, so I’m not sure what we currently have around the house. Most likely some gin which my wife and her friend drink. Probably some vodka for cosmos, and maybe some tequila for mixing. Usually a bottle or 2 of Pinot Grigio or something else light in the fridge, and a few beers - right now Harp I think. Like I said, I’m not too interested since I’m not drinking them. Maybe a bottle or 2 of red and/or champagne around somewhere. And we usually have some scotch for my one BIL. If we are having someone over and know they have a preferred drink, we’ll generally stock it. Seems like most of our guests are into beer and wine these days, tho.
I have a question for those of you who have extensive and diverse bars. Do you drink all of those different things, or do you entertain frequently such that you like to have it on hand? I mean, when I used to drink pretty heavily, I never had a huge variety of things on hand - pretty much just more of what I listed above, with perhaps some rum for mixing and maybe some sambuca,
But my wife and I used to drink a lot, as did most of our friends, yet we never felt the need to stock a really wide selection. All of our family and friends were perfectly happy with “What do you have?” rather than asking for something in particular. I can’t recall ever having someone be unsatisfied when offered the choise of beer, wine, gin, vodka, or whiskey. I never felt like putting in the expense to maintain a complete bar, just so I could satisfy the rare guest who asked for something off-the-wall. And all those 1/2 empty bottles gathering dust took up cabinet space of which we did not have a surfeit.
Blame Hugh Hefner and my dad’s stack of old Playboys. Yes, I discovered them for the boob content, but I did read them all and honestly thought that the swinging hi-fi listening cocktail party throwing batchelor lifestyle is what people actual people did. Playboy always suggested having a insanely complete bar on hand so that a good host could always offer someone their drink of choice, and then later perhaps see their boobs (this made perfect sense at 12). As I got older I thought I was sophisticated for having a huge bar.
Now it mostly just appeals to the collector / show off in me. 
At some point or another during the year, the stuff in our cabinet comes into play. Bourbon gets the heaviest workout, but I make vodka martinis for the wife, and we both like rum & Cokes during the summer. Winter makes me turn towards the single-malts. The rest is there pretty much because we want options. That’s why we started collecting the minis.
I only buy liquor to use in cheesecake, so temporarily I might have amaretto, creme de menthe, Godiva liqueur, etc. No real liquor cabinet for me.
ETA: The non-bar/restaurant drinking I do takes place over at my friends’ house, and so I have them store Kahlua for me.
I drink way too much as it is, but some are in storage for future drinking purposes. Many styles age very well, such as large stouts, barley wines, and especially guezes. I’ve got some mead and sake in there as well. About 70% of what you see in those pictures could age a minimum of 5 years, with many being able to go as long as 20 or more.
My boyfriend and I like trying new drinks (webtender.com is awesome) and we both enjoy variety when drinking. We do have friends over, and offer them drinks, and it is nice to ask what they like and be able to make it, but mostly it’s just nice to be able to say “gosh, a white russian sounds good” or “I want a nuts and berries right now” or “a long island iced tea would be great right now” and be able to go make it. It would be expensive to go buy all of that stuff at once, sure, but once you’ve accumulated it, most of the individual bottles don’t empty very quickly, so you don’t really end up resupplying all that often (plus we always buy the BIG bottle, because it’s a better deal). Sure, your basic non-top-shelf vodka or rum will go quicker, but that gigantor bottle of Disaronno? That’s gonna last for years.
I’m down to a few bottles of Two Buck Chuck (shiraz and sav blanc), a few Sierra Nevada Pale Ales, vermouth, and bitters. I’m entering the no-booze zone around finals, after which I will be getting in touch with my Inner Bender. Then I will have a 1.75mL bottle of Bombay Sapphire, a fresh case of Sierra Nevada, and possibly I may indulge in a bottle of limoncello.
5 bottles of Shiner Bock
1 bottle of Killian’s
1.5 liter bottle of Yellow Tail shiraz (I keep wanting to open it, but it seems lame when I’ll just be drinking a glass or two by myself, and I don’t really have the fridge space to store it once it’s open, and the next time I’d want some it would be all cold, etc)
I keep wanting to get some scotch and maybe some gin but the price tags scare me. Besides, I do most of my liquor-drinking outside the home, and it’s mainly beer and margaritas anyway.
A bottle of each of the following:
Unicum bitter
Fernet Branca
Linie Akvavit
Rød Aalborg
Christian Drouin Calvados
Flagman Vodka
Assorted no-brand stuff for making drinks (vodka, gin, rum etc.)
A few bottles of wine (belonging to my GF - I’m not much of an oenophile)
Cheap tawny port
Around a dozen different strong Belgian and Danish beers (and one *Terrible *from Canada, I think).
There’s a bottle of Vermouth under the sink (for cooking), two or three bottles of beer that are “stunt beers” (they’re for display - not drinking - it’s hard to explain) and a 30 pack of Old Style. I THINK there might be more under the sink with the Vermouth - I’ll have to look tonight.
