How can I tell if a drink has too much alcohol?
The alcohol in strong drinks is higher than that of weaker drinks. Proof is a measure of how much alcohol is in a drink. One proof equals one percent alcohol for each 100g grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine would have ten proofs and a 16-ounce bottle would have sixteen. beer would be 13 proofs, and a 40 oz. 45 proofs would be required for a bottle of Scotch.

A shaker is used when you want to combine more than one ingredient. The shaker comes with a strainer so you can strain any remaining solids from the mixture. It also has a lid to stop unwanted smells escaping as it shakes.

How To
How to order drinks at 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. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. 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, 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.
