      Cocktails are not beer, you sip it and enjoy the taste. If you want to down something, drink beer. It's cheaper. It's like buying a bottle of good wine and downing it. No one in their right mind would do that. Those that drink alcohol for the taste are different than those that drink for getting drunk. It's really two different kinds of people and both are ok. Honestly, if you got drunk there and he judged you for it, then he'd be a bad bartender since the whole point of this craft is to serve people with respect. Go enjoy your drinks however you want and don't be embarrassed because it's your life man.

    My favorite accent with English is Japanese.
