Also, when at a bar, order a Manhattan. Neat, not on the rocks if they ask. To use a decidedly uncultured colloquialism (you will not be using these as a proper adult,) doing so will earn you mad respect.
I sincerely hope you don't take offense, but I have to disagree with the comment regarding the Manhattan. You are not what you drink, and the only people who will respect someone based entirely on what drink they order are silly people. Go into a bar, be patient but confident when seeking the bartender's attention. Be specific with what you want to drink, and order whatever you like to drink.

That's classy.
