How To
How to order drinks at the 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 what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
