What happens if you walk up to a bar and say "gimme a beer"?

Do they just give you whatever beer is cheapest? What about at taphouses and places that don't have macros? Would they make you pick or is there some basic fallback house beer?

And in the same vein, what happens if you order a whiskey and say "leave the bottle". Can you even do that? Do they just charge you for the whole bottle right away?

    "Leave the bottle" -- no, not in this state. You have to get your drinks poured for you one at a time. Remember too, if you are "visibly intoxicated" they can't serve you any more. What that means, exactly, is open to interpretation, of course.

    "Gimme a beer" -- will always elicit a bored recital of what's on draft, and maybe a sliding-over of a list. Even working-class taverns have at least a couple of semi-microbrews on offer. A "house beer" is probably Budweiser, but they won't call it that, though they might say it in a questioning tone. You still have to choose.

    Are you wearing a cowboy hat and spurs?

    Cause I feel like that is essential for this scenario.

    At the Cha Cha you'll get a Lucky. Or used to. It's been years since I was lame enough to go there.

    At the smoke shot they'll give you a rainier.

    Most everywhere else they'll ask what kind of beer you want.
