I have always found that when I am out having a drink with friends I most likely will try something new. Of course, this could change depending on the bar/restaurants specials for the night or specific deals. I also feel like I want to try something new because a commercial bar has a lot of options I really do not keep at home. I'm not a fancy pants drinker. I drink a beer or a martini (if I do happen to feel a bit fancy but that's as fancy as I get I swear!). You are also utilizing a bartenders ability to create something. Much like a chef in a kitchen, they should be able to make things quicker, easier, & (if they are quite good) better. So, my question to you is as the title: Is your drink at the bar the same as your drink at home? Why?
Definitely not! At home I usually only have water, juice, tea or coffee. On bars I usually will drink something alcoholic, like wine, beer, a margarita...
lol I see! I feel like I should have been more specific I see how the question was misleading. I was not trying to paint myself as a non-stop alcohol drinker who has a beer as opposed to water! Here's my revised question: Do you drink the same ALCOHOLIC drinks at home as you do at a bar?
No. I usually get different mixed drinks everytime I go out. At home I just mix the same drinks together because I live by myself so the only one drinking the alcohol is me. When I am at my moms house if I am in the mood I will drink there otherwise I just drink a soda or water. It all depends on my mood whether or not I will drink alcohol when I go out or when I am at home. I just like to drind socially.
I don't have alcoholic drinks at home, so definitely not. Even on rare occasions when I do, it'll probably be a can of beer as opposed to something like a Long Island Tea or something which I'll have in a bar.
My drinks are mixed drinks at the bar and beer at home. I'll have the same beer at a bar if I ever get offered one. =)
I usually do not have the bartender mix me the same things I mix myself. This is for a few reasons, one I like to try new things at the bar and two they don't put as much alcohol in at the bar as I do at home so the drinks I make myself taste better at home. I don't like when my drinks don't taste the exact way I like them! Also when I'm lazy and at home I drink wine if I don't want to make drinks and I almost never get wine while I'm out. It's just too darn expensive to buy it by the glass. Every now and then I will with dinner but I feel if I'm going to spend that much I should just have a mixed drink.
No, I don't. This habit might change a little; but right now I keep cheap beer at home, and at the bar ... well, I get the best deal I can (my standard drink, plus whatever people will give me for FREE.)
No, it is not. At home, I preffer to remain casual, drinking only water and apple juice, and at bars I usually mix alcohol with apple juice. It's definitely not the same thing.
I don't drink alcohol, but I like trying out new beverages wherever I go. If there is a drink I haven't heard of before, and I can tolerate its ingredients, I will definitely try it. I also like to experiment with fruit, vegetables and nuts at home, creating interesting new combinations, such as cashew nut milk with blackberries, cinnamon and stevia. The possibilities are endless.
We have liquor here at home, and it has been here for many years now, because no one in here is fond of alcohol, although it has been opened and consumed a bit already. They were just given to us as gifts. Anyway, I only drink sweet alcoholic drinks like Sauza, so I would say "pass" to anything that tastes remotely bitter.
