How To
How to order drinks at a bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways to order drinks at the local bar, but these methods require you to know what kind of drink you want before you go up to the counter. If you don’t know the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. You could, for instance, say that you would like Budweiser. Next, tell the server how big you'd like it to be (e.g. medium, large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
