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. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. One example is "I'd love a glass" of beer. Next, tell your server what beer you prefer. 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!
