Can someone tell me what normal people get at bars? I don't drink beer and I usually just get trashed at home with vodka+whatever is in my fridge or wine. I don't know what people actually drink in a social environment other than beer. I don't even really know brands of beer. I don't know how bars work.

Long Island Iced Tea is a casual mixed drink. Depends on how long you want to be there honestly.

Some places have basic drink menus with mixed drinks, but usually you have to have some knowledge of drinks for bartenders to make, like Tequila Sunrises or Sex on the beach for example. You could always even ask the bartender what is good or what they would recommend drink wise to just casually drink.

I know people tend to get Rum and Coke as a normal bar drink, but I find rum to be nasty. I myself tend to go for the vodka lemonade style mixed drinks, because they have a sweet taste without too much of an alcoholic taste. And I can't stand beer at all.

If you wanna get trashed, you could always try shots which is also common at bars like Tequila and vodka. You can just get straight liquor shots or mixed ones, like an Apple Bomb or Jager bomb for example.

It's basically free game though at bars to get whatever you want.

Basically, you drink how you wanna be at the end of the night. Go light with casual drinks that you can slowly drink if you wanna drive home. Go hard and fast with heavy, thick drinks and/or shots if you wanna be carried out the bar.

Thanks for the advice. I honestly only want to drink to ease my anxiety, as I'll be around new people in a setting I'm uncomfortable with. I really hate bars. Too many people and I'm hard of hearing+I speak softly, so I often feel like I'm deaf and mute the whole night.

It's not a great place to meet new people honestly. It's like paying to make a mistake usually.

Well, they're friends of the guy I'm seeing. We're going to do other things tonight too, but the bar is one of them and I'm anxious.

If they're friends of the guy you're seeing, at least they're kinda familiar people. And if they know you're quiet and soft spoken already, then you shouldn't be worried, they should understand.

Yeah, but this will be the first time I meet them. At the bar. But I'm sure he's told them I'm quiet and awkward because those are my main traits.

Last time I went to a bar, I had an anxiety attack and cried the whole night.

If he'll be there, I'm sure he'll support you. Does he know about the anxiety attack that had happened in the past?

I know how you feel, cause I'm quiet and awkward too, but I'm sure they'll all understand. Bars, if you're with a group of people and from my experience, tend to be where you make brtter friends with the people you're with. It's a lot of fun and is a way to open up, especially if some alcohol is consumed.

Social anxiety is the worst.

But don't worry, I have a backup plan if things go all pear shaped. Xanax.

I don't plan on drinking that much tonight, but I would like to avoid the xanax if possible because it will just fade me out.

He knows I'm anxious, but he doesn't know it's that bad or he probably wouldn't be taking me there in the first place.

I'd like to talk. I'm pretty social once I get to know people. If I drink, I'll get a little more social and might be able to have a conversation. Idk, I was honestly hoping the snow would cancel the plans and we'd do something more quiet.

Yes, LOVE the Wicker Man! And the music is fantastic:D

Oooooooooooh...the original of that is amazing.

I had no idea a remake had been done, but the idea is more frightening than the film...and not in a good way! Why are there SO many crappy remakes, and moves with 87 sequels and prequels, these days? Can't stand either concept really, call me a crab ass. Just make a good film, get a good idea, and move on.

Grumble, grumble...

Also: It's raining, and I gotta walk and get groceries! :mad:
