If you're the stereotypical urban hipster or Abercrombie and Fitch-wearing, live in the suburbs and work in the city kind of guy, heading out to a rural dive bar can be a recipe for disaster. All the same, you might someday find yourself in need of a drink in an unfamiliar country setting, so you should be prepared.

2. Avoid eye contact with any man who appears to be wearing steel-toed construction boots.
