Is this the juice that got those golfers in trouble on the water hole...or do I have my commercials mixed up?

That's wasn't scorn or derision. A shandy is a beer mixed with another beverage making it no longer a beer. Just like a mimosa isn't a champagne and Jack and coke isn't a whiskey.

Dont remember ever seeing a commercial for The Kraken.
I have a friend who swears it will make you blackout and must be respected. I think it is brewed by Satan himself.

The Octopus looks a bit more intimidating than the Bat on a bottle of Bacardi. I'm guessing it's a bit more potent as well. Looked up the commercials I referenced...

true story...
Vacay '17 - St. Augustine, FL
The wife & I left the kids with Grandma at the condo and snuck out for a date. It was a lil rainy so we headed to the Salt Life Food Shack. She ordered a Pina Colada because, you know, we were at the beach. A waitress had just brought it to the table when I reached over to pick it up and take a drink
(if this makes me un-manly all y'all can
). It was very cold and very wet. About 1/2" off of the table it slipped out of my hand and onto the table spilling half of the drink out (maybe my penance for trying to drink an un-manly drink). I quickly picked it up (saving half 
). A waitress saw it and helped this embarrassed soul clean it up. Mrs. Trux was some kind of pissed at me.
They brought us another one and didn't charge for the one I laid waist to, so all in all - we had a Pina Colada and a half for the price of 1. I double hand, Kung-Fu gripped that sucker the next time I went to get a drink. It was Mrs. Trux drink anyway, I was just sip stealing....
Later that night I went on to knock a surf board over (still at Salt Life) and spill someone else's drink (thankfully it was just water) on a Sunset Cruise.
Thing is, I never do anything like that, and yes, all I had to drink that night was the sips of Pina Colada.
We laughed our butts off that night and had a great time. Possibly the best date ever.

First, I'll l qualify this by admitting I'm not much of a drinker
Is there really a difference between a $5 and $10 whiskey (no size disparity)? Or any another drink for that matter, or are you paying for a name mostly?

Huge difference. Same with rum. And wine. It takes many many moons to sort it all out. But when you, the differences you are incredible and fun. But I rarely buy a top shelf drink at a restaurant or bar because the price is so jacked up. And definitely no sense in buying a top shelf mixed drink.
Edit: Forgot to add tequila. I have really tried to break through and enjoy the nicer sipping tequilas..... but I just cant get there.

With liquor, you get what you pay for almost 100% of the time.

There is a BIG difference, taste and hangover.
