How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. 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 Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
