If you go out to the bars, you've probably been in this situation. You wait in line, try to catch the bartender's attention. Finally it's your turn, and you've got a choice to make. What are you going to drink?


James : So I'm assuming you do like going out to bars and clubs or restaurants, correct?

Amy : On occasion, yes.

James : So do you prefer drinking when you go out?

Amy : Sometimes, I'm not gonna lie.

James : Do you enjoy cocktails?

Amy : I do, yeah. It kinda depends, sometimes I prefer to just have a glass of wine, depending on what I'm eating, but I do get excited for a fancy cocktail.

James : Do you like it on the rocks? Do you like it in a martini glass? Do you like to take shots?

Amy : I don't really like to take shots. I mean, for me, I don't know, I enjoy sipping on a cocktail, and I kind of like to enjoy the flavors of a cocktail, especially if it's, you know, something a little unusual, if the bartender has put some extra effort into trying to come up with a creative recipe.

James : So do you take the advice from the bartender, if you happen to ask him? Do you go by that decision or that choice?

Amy : I have my favorite types of alcohol that I tend to gravitate toward in a cocktail, but I'm also one of those annoying people who always is asking the bartender, '' what do you like?''

James : Well, don't drink too many cocktails.

Amy : I'll try.
