Buying drinks

Most people in the UK drink in pubs with their family and friends. They usually drink beer, wine, spirits or soft (non-alcoholic) drinks.

Beer can be lager (fizzy and light) or bitter (non-fizzy and dark).

A bottle of beer

A pint of lager

A half-pint of bitter

A half of shandy

Wine is usually served in pubs by the glass but you can also order a bottle to share with friends.

Wine can be described by its colour (red, white or rosé) and its taste (sweet or dry).

A bottle of wine

A glass of champagne³

A large glass of dry white wine

Spirits (whisky, gin, vodka, rum etc.) are usually ordered by the glass or by the measure (a single or a double) but never by the bottle in a pub.

Spirits can be ordered with a mixer (water, lemonade, etc.), just with ice or with nothing at all.

A whisky

A large vodka and coke

A double rum with ice
