Scotch is a variety of whiskey. Whiskey is made usually from fermented corn or wheat, distilled and then aged in oak. There are many varieties of Scotch: single malts like Glenfiddich, blends like Johnnie Walker, bourbons (American whiskey) such as Jack Daniels, etc. Making Scotch is a real art, and good Scotch is wonderful stuff. Bad Scotch will give you headaches.
Vodka is normally made from rye or potatoes, and is usually clear. It has no taste, but can be flavored with hot peppers, fruit, or herbs. It often forms the base for liqueurs like limoncello.
Tequila is made from the agave plant, which is related to the lily. There are several grades: cristal, reposado, añejo, and reserva. The darker it is, the longer it's been aged. Good tequila can be as aromatic and flavorful as cognac.
There's more: rum, brandy, slivovitz, akvavit, you name it. Check Wikipedia for more info.

Vodka and Tequila are claer liqour. things like scotch or brandy are dark liqour. dark liquor usually is a bit stronger but it all depends on the brand and alcohol content. some alcohols are usually meant to be put in mixed drinks like margaritas and some are usually drank striaght.
