Annoyance, Individuals

Buying a drink for someone you haven't even met yet is about the worst move you can possibly make: even if you aren't one, it makes you seem like a creep.
Example:
"I got you this drink: what's your name?"
Translation:
"I'd like to get you drunk as soon as possible and am not interested in getting to know you."

Doesn't bother me. I get a free drink and get to talk to a cute guy. What more do I want on my night out.

Having the bartender or staff deliver it doesn't help. It still might have been spiked. I'd never take an open drink if I didn't get to see it prepared. Even if most guys aren't trying to get you drunk a lot of them do think that getting you a drink means that you're obligated to talk to them. "Hey, I did this thing for you even though you didn't ask me to so now you HAVE to talk to me."

In both cases, have the bartender/wait staff deliver it. Nobody wants an open drink you carried around and drugged, creep.

One exception: if the drink is given to a person in uniform as a token of appreciation. Doubt that happens around here though.
