How To
How to order drinks from 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 to embarrass your server by asking for recommendations.
This method involves speaking with your server and telling them what type of drink 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. 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). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
