Going out drinking with your friends and fam is fun, right? But a lot of times, many of us get caught in an embarrassing situation. Like when you’re in a mood to try a new drink but you just don’t know how to pronounce it or maybe you say it the wrong way. It isn’t that big of a deal but sometimes if we’re out with professional company, it’s a situation you’d rather like to avoid. I’ve experienced it a couple of times too, TBH.
