      <content>Almost always a Gin &amp; Tonic, but that can burn you if their tonic is crappy.  At least most places have reasonably good Gin.</content>

      <content>Depends on where I am.  Usually I order Tanqueray or Tanqueray Ten martini, especially if the bar is in a steakhouse.  Sometimes I order gin and tonics.  If I'm in a bar at a Mexican restaurant, I order Margaritas.  If the bar has a specialty drinks menu, I might order something from that.</content>

      <content>scary bar - dark beer and stick with it throughout the night

good bar -  with some of the guys then a white russian and stay with it the rest of the evening.  with my wife then a manhattan and if its a good one then i have some derivations off whiskey as i continue to drink and get to know the bartender.  if either are bad i toss it and get a dark beer.  i think a white russian and a manhattan are pretty much bartending 101 so they are bad its only going to get worse.</content>
