How To
How to Order Drinks at the Bar Without Embarrassing Yourself
There are many methods to order drinks at your local bar. But these methods require that the drink be ordered in advance. If you don’t know the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. You won't have any embarrassment asking for their 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. If you want Budweiser, for example, you might say "a Budweiser." Next tell your server the size you prefer (e.g. small, medium, large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
