Bar Etiquette Around the World.

Last night my friend Fabian was kind enough to pass on a link to Modern Drunkard's Booze Rules.

A few of us got to talking about bar etiquette, and another friend of mine raised a thought-provoking and highly significant question: "I wonder if the etiquette is different over seas and in Europe than here in the states? Or is it Universal?" I was hoping to springboard this into a free trip to Europe for research purposes, but alas, cooler heads prevailed.

Friends, Romans, booze hags of all nationalities, creeds, colours and sexual orientations, lend me your ears. (Er, make that "eyes".) Kindly peruse the list in the link above and tell me if there are significant differences in your native bar culture.
