How to choose an appropriate place to have a drink enfemme.
Do not go to a place called 'The Stumbling Bigot', or any place the patrons carry pool cues, with no pool table in sight. If there is more than two fights, or the jukebox plays three Def Leopard songs in a row- Leave.
Good place to go- A place called 'Ciao enormously overpriced wine bar and tapas.' Here, the only real danger is being bitten by the bichon frise at the next stool. Order red wine by the glass, or a bellini.
The only proper place for a lady to drink beer is the 19th. hole after golf.
