Bar Etiquette: 5 Simple Rules - Just A Thought #25

Aren't bars wonderful? Except when they're not. Here are five simple rules to help keep the bar experience a little less disgusting.

The whole purpose of a bar, i.e. getting drunk, and don’t lie - if I just wanted to socialise with inebriated strangers without endangering at least one of my internal organs I’d save my money and hang around the local bus shelter, is responsible for the many downsides of going down the pub. Yes, I said it, alcohol is the enemy of bar etiquette, just as alcohol is the enemy of successfully doing just about anything you'd only do when drunk.

Bar etiquette essentially comes down to people not being dickheads - which can be difficult given the whole nature of bars. Who'd be a drinker ay? It almost feels as if one day our successors will look back with a mixture of intrigue and loathing, but they of course will be in some form of bar or other, wasting their miserable lives. Drinking the kool-aid, no doubt with etiquette that will in turn be laughed at by their own successors for appalling bar etiquette. Nevermind. Enjoy!

Also, I wrote this with my left hand because I'm sat in a bar and my alcohol hand is occupied.
