How To
How to order drinks from the 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. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. 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, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
