How To Drink Like A Gentleman

About this video

The Gazette team provides eight practical tips for drinking alcoholic beverages responsibly and maintaining gentlemanly conduct in social settings. They emphasize knowing your limits, choosing classic drinks, pacing yourself, resisting peer pressure, respecting bar staff, and maintaining physical boundaries to avoid damaging your reputation or the experience of others.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends knowing your personal limit, sticking with classic cocktails like Manhattans or gin and tonics ordered from a glass rather than bottle, and pacing yourself by keeping your glass half full
• The Gazette team emphasizes treating bar staff with respect, resisting peer pressure to drink, not pushing drinks on others, keeping hands to yourself, and avoiding bringing flasks to bars—all essential to being considerate to those around you
