No line has to be on the same line as any other line, and as long as there isn't a good reason (trying to compact or obfuscate code) it's best to spread out code as much as possible.
mob
    verb/Choose_Drink()
        var
           drink = pick("Rum","Vodka","Beer")
           drink2 = pick("shot","double shot","glass")
        src << "You drink a [drink2] of [drink]!"

If that's what you mean by pretty, then OK. Otherwise, what do you mean by 'pretty'?

thats great one more thing how would i make a probability added? like say i wanted rum to come up 25% more times than the others?

You can do this by using pick() in the form pick(Probability;value,Probability;value) i.e.
var/drink = pick(125;"Rum",100;"Vodka",100;"Beer")
