For those turning 21 or those who do not normally go to bars there are certain rules the I follow. Firstly lets get with some context. Drinking outside of your own house can get really expensive but it does offer a social setting and a place to watch a sporting even if you cannot get said even on your home set.

There are two types of bars those who offer draft beers and those who do not offer draft beers.
  Always go to the bar that offers draft beers
  Never waste your money at a bar on bottled beers your better off with a strong liquor
 
Another thing to look at is how intoxicated you want to get
  Find bars with exotic beers rich in delicious alcohol
  Order a shot and a beer

Im on the fence about mixed drinks and sometimes that falls in the "how intoxicated you want to get category"

Try not to order anything pink
  If so make sure it is large and you are sharing it with a female
  (Pink drinks are okay at Asian Restaurants)
If you are with your homeys do not order wine (champagne is okay for celebratory purposes)

If there are two of you and the bar offers pitchers... GET THE PITCHER
If there are 3 of you and the bar offers beer in something larger then the pitcher... GET THE LARGER

If you get straight up liquor on the rocks and you are going for seconds make sure to give the bar tender a good tip the first time.. That way the second time he or she might be a little nicer on the portions. It's no guarantee it will always work.

Don't get too loud
Don't get too political (with strangers)
Make sure you know the girls boyfriend is not there
NEVER SPILL YOUR DRINK EVER!! If someone bumps into you it's your fault the drink is spilled. Anyone who dances should know how to dance without spilling their drink (especially males who really don't have to do much on the dance floor)

I think these are pretty good rules to live by.. There will be times that they will get broken. The most important rule is the last one NEVER SPILL YOUR DRINK

Important point. Especially at Celtics games. I can't stand people who spill their beers on seats when returning. Idiots. All they have to do is take a few sips.

Idiots like that should put a plastic cover on their beers and use a straw.

I have a very important rule for when I go drinking:

If you are going to get rowdy, really drunk and/or obnoxious... do NOT do it at your favorite bar.  Like the saying goes... don't pee in your own house.

Well, if you know you'll be getting drunk (birthday, for example) take the trip to a different bar.

Just to add something to this.  If you Do spill some beer on the the people sitting in the row in front of you as you are stumbling to your seat...APOLOGIZE!  Seriously, if you are that guy that just keeps walking...well, I sure am not going to be moving to allow you get out of the row again.

The only acceptable apology would be money!

New Rule: If somebody spills beer on you at a game, that beer becomes your beer.

If someone bumbs into you and spills your beer.  Don't demand that they buy you another.  If they don't then just let it go.

Let... it... go?

I... I don't understand.  What kind of self respecting drunk lets even the most minute of offenses go?

No, if they don't offer to buy you a beer, just smile and pretend to let it go.  Then, when he's not looking... .BAMMM take all the cheese from his nachos.  Nothing is worse than salty plain corn ships with no cheese byproduct!

Now now, that's going too far.  You don't mess with someone's barfood.

I fully disagree with the notion that spilling beer is blasphemy, that's a rule that should be held for school kids with no money, let's face it, beer is for sports and the outdoors, pre drinking at the very most. If you're drinking beer to get drunk you aren't really drinking so who cares if you spill it? If you're into that gourmet beer scene obviously the rules change but I'm tired of being told not to spill my beer while I'm dancing with a hot b-rod or telling a story waving my hands, primer's primer, it shouldn't be coddled. How you Yanks get plastered on that 4% nonsense I'll never be able to figure out as it is.

These are our rules of drinking:

1. No one is allowed to come to the bar with a t-shirt tucked into a pair of jeans, wearing deck shoes, having a cell phone hanging off a belt clip, wearing a fanny pack, a blue tooth ear phone, etc.

2. No one is allowed to foil the plan of anyone looking to scoop b-rods regardless of circumstance and all fictional stories must be strictly adhered to as well as evolved.

3. If someone is brought into the circle and they are easily offended remove them from the circle because they are useless and nothing but a deterrent for great times.

4. If someone is insecure and they are mocked they are not to be defended unless the mocker is a culprit of breaking rule no 1.

5. All persons at the table must have respectable table manners, nothing foils a great night like some neanderthal chewing with his mouth open babbling about the new deck he's putting on his house.

Those are rules worth adhering to, the rules of drinking are petty and useless imo, surround yourself with a good atmosphere and good people, and especially no pansies or frail whiners, and you're set up for success. It's all about the people, nothing else.

to add to the list

tip your servers and tip them well - the better the tip the better the service, especially if you expect to come back

when you're at the bar, don't text, its obnoxious - worse is being on your cell phone

Gotta agree on draft over bottled, as long as its a respectable bar who keeps their draft lines clean - and a place with a bunch of random beers you can't get anywhere else = awesome

most important: don't drink and drive - have a dd or someone who can really "only have 1" - worst case, take a cab, its better than losing your life or killing someone else



When you love life, life loves you right back

Absolutely! Or just go pick up his woman...that will leave a lasting impression as well. Bet he won't be knocking your beer over again.

To semi quote Robert Plant :
does anyone remember laughter

does anyone remember 21

If you are turning that (honestly not) magic 21 THERE ARE NO RULES
try not to get arrested.
If you are honestly at a C's game or any sports event, be kind to your elders, try hard not to spill anything.
1.At a bar, try not to throw up amongst the bar crowd. 
2.Don't pass out at table, they might be your friends but they are evil creatures
3.Know where you are/what bar you are at; rough night if you are walking home have it written on your hand
4.Don't worry about who you wake up with, you were drunk, 21 only happens once and you did get some
5.you won't know/understand this til much later but better quality alcohol (wine) you can drink bunches and not really have a hangover...compared to your bud on tap
good luck!

Let's be fair... usually the drunk stumbling into you is NOT there with a girl.  He's there with his four closest "bros" and or "bras"   ;D


most important: don't drink and drive - have a dd or someone who can really "only have 1" - worst case, take a cab, its better than losing your life or killing someone else


Sage advice there.  For me a cab home is usually between 5-10 bucks... how much does a DWI lawyer cost?  More.




davemonsterband - your rules are solid.  I just don't get how you can so adamantly defend beer spilling.  It's not the end of the world, but it's definitely a negative.  The only time spilling a beer brings anything to the table is when you spill your buddies beer and then punch him in the groin.  You know, intellectual humor.
