I live in the States and I am 20 years old but I will be going to Canada this weekend to drink. I have gone before but I was a little unprepared. What are some good drinks that the bartender is going to know what I am talking about. I got tired of asking for a certain drink and having the bartender being clueless about the drink. But I want something more creative than screwdrivers.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Tom Collins (Vodka Collins, Jack Collins, Whiskey Sour) is gin/vodka/applejack/whiskey and sour mix (or lemon juice, simple syrup and soda) and tastes delicious. It's also a rather manly drink. I like it a lot and I've only been to one bar that didn't know how to make it.

I say there is a lot good with red wine. I used to resort to mixed drinks because I love sweetness and hate the taste of beer and hard liquor, but grew tired of indecisiveness (I never really found my niche), bartenders not knowing how to make it, running out of ingredients, and girls reading into it that I was gay. I have always loved red wine but had figured it was only for meals and private home use. Two months ago I said screw it and started ordering wine in while out in bars. It's not that much more expensive but damn it tastes great and it's a smash hit with the ladies. Sure, it's not a "creative" mixture but damn a good glass of wine tastes better than all the rest. (In my opinion, merlots tend to be hit or miss, but cabernet savignons and pinot noirs are great, but if you find some red zinfandel then you are ready to rock).

Order something and something. Two ingredient drinks are the best hands down. Jack and coke, vodka and cran, seven and seven, morgan and ginger etc etc. Every bartender knows how to make them and they'll always be made the same where ever you go. There are hundreds of drinks to try from and you're bound to find a go to drink that's pretty simple to make.
You're drinking to get drunk, not for "an image" or status symbol. Find a drink that suits you personally and the rest will sort itself out.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
