How To
How to order drinks at a bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. 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 involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. It might sound like this: "I'd like to have a glass of beer." Next, tell your server exactly what type of beer you would like. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). Once you are done, the server will give you the correct price and you won't feel awkward ever again.
