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. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. 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 could say, "I would like a glass beer." Next, tell the server what kind of beer it is. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
