Where someone might ask for a screwdriver
Answer:
BAR
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue plays on the double meaning of "screwdriver." One is the cocktail made with vodka and orange juice, which you’d order at a bar. The other is the tool, but no one asks for that at a hardware store—they just grab it. So the answer is "BAR," where you’d actually request the drink by name.
