The gran marnier is a great way to get knuckled at a dinner without looking like a lush. A fat double in a big snifter will put a perfect exclamation point on the end of an boring dinner wine buzz. And no one will lok at you queerly, as some will when you order a vodka rocks or double Glenlivet nightcap.

But it's so fucking sweet/heavily flavored, you can't use as much in, e.g. a recipe. Whereas vodka just makes it taste/smell like alcohol, and rum, while flavored, is not as strongly flavored as gm and therefore does not overpower as quickly.
For dessert beverages. I still don't think one can get drunk off dessert solids. Fruit, b/c of high water/liquid content, is more of a beverage. Jello shots also are a beverage.
