Your bartender has been on their feet for umpteen hours by now, and the very last thing they want to do when they're ready to get home at the ungodly hour

of a bar's closing time is make you another drink. Don't be that guy!

This one may seem small, but it all comes back to courtesy. Sure, you and the person serving you do have a transactional relaysh going on, but that doesn't strip

them of their humanity. They're not robots there to serve you, so don't treat them like it by committing little acts of disrespect that add up over the hours to

feel huge, and you're one step closer to avoiding becoming "That Guy."

Don't do this to your bartender, who will most likely have to pay for your stingy decision, or your karma, which will certainly come back to kick you in the

ass if you drink n' dash. Also, unless something horrendously creepy/racist/gross happens at the hands of your bartender, make sure to tip at least $1 per drink.

Don't be the guy doing this stuff: carving your name in the booth (yes, even if everyone else seems to have done it), ripping up your coaster into teeny little pieces and leaving it

behind, writing your number on bathroom stalls (who has that ever worked for anyway?), breaking a glass and not telling anyone what happened, or basically anything you wouldn't do or tolerate someone

else doing in your own home.

Whether it's the bouncer, bartender, or other customers who you're looking to start beef with, we can assure you that none of them want to be bothered. 

If you "know" the bartender well enough to get free drinks, chances are they'll give you free drinks anyway. Just don't ask, and definitely feel entitled to them.

It's usually just that oooone little extra drink that tips you over the edge from being "fun happy drunk Sharon who's the hilarious life of the party" to "sad wasted Sharon

who is falling over the bar stool yelling about her ex-boyfriend-thrice removed." Know which number drink is going to turn fun you into burdensome you, and stop before you hit

that line.
