How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. If you don't know what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. One example is "I'd love a glass" of beer. Next, tell your server what beer you prefer. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). Once you are done, the server will give you the correct price and you won't feel awkward ever again.
