Ordering An Angel Shot In The Bar Could Save Your Life

If you've ever been on a bad date and needed an "emergency" excuse to leave, then you'll be relieved by a helpful trend sweeping bars across the globe; one that could keep you out of harm's way.

At Iberian Restaurant in St. Petersburg, FL, this means there is a discreet sign in the women's restroom that reads "Is your Tinder date not who they said they were on their profile? Do you feel unsafe or even just a tad bit weird?" If so, the sign advises, "order an angel shot."

An angel shot is actually not booze at all. It's a code that will discreetly tell the bartender you need help, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Here's how it works: order an angel shot neat and a bartender will escort you to your car. Ask for it with ice and the bartender will call a taxi or Uber for you. Order it with lime and the restaurant staff will call the police.
