How To
How to order drinks from 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 the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. This will ensure that you don't feel embarrassed asking your server for suggestions.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. 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, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
