Last but not least, wait at minimum two hours after opening a bottle to chill your drinks before you pour it into another container.

How To
How to order drinks from the bar without embarrassing yourself
Although there are many ways to order drinks at a local bar, you need to be able to identify the drink you desire before you approach the counter. 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 involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. 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.
