If you accept a free drink from a member of the opposite sex is it a social obligation to establish some type or relationship even if it is just small talk? or take the drink say thank you and walk away ?

Why I would be delighted if you bought me a drink. And I would definitely come talk you.
For your 2nd ? Just one drink, and a thanks would suffice. If you accept a 2nd, then you should at least speak to him even if it means telling him you're not interested. This would probably put a halt to your free-of-charge booze, but it would be better than having some shmuck bothering you and putting a damper on your evening out.

I think that would be pretty rude. In a bar setting, accepting a drink means that you are going to sit there and talk to that person. If you don't like the person, either don't accept the drink, or when you finish the drink walk away. If you are not sure ask the guy "Yes, but what expectations do you have if I accept the drink?". Let's communicate people. Why do we have to assume that the guy expects to get laid. And how hard is it to enjoy a drink with someone who was friendly enough to buy one for you?
If the guy is annoying, walk away.
Of course there are creeps out there, so be careful. I don't think it's a good idea to go to bars anyway, but this is just my opinion from the stanpoint of a guy seeing a pretty girl and wanting to talk to her, and buying her a drink. I would be offended if she just walked away. And if she asked me that question I would say "I would hope that you would at least drink it here, and not gulp it down." :-(

No, you don't have to establish a relationship, but I would at least talk to the guy for about five minutes to be nice and courtesy since he brought you a drink because drinks can get really expensive. But next time don't take the drink if you aren't interested in the guy. But be careful and safe because some guys do drugged women drinks, to be cautious always buy your own drink or accept a drink from a person you know really well.

Well, being the chivalrous person I am, I would have a hard time accepting that. But small talk would be the main thing on my mind unless the person hinted at maybe getting in touch at another time.
But no, I don't think buying someone a drink is a "social obligation" for a relationship!

Obviously if someone buys you a drink, he's *hoping* to be able to have a conversation with you, and if he actually asks you if he can buy you a drink, you can at least talk with him long enough to find out if he's an idiot, a player, or a jerk. If he just sends one over, he's being a little presumptuous and/or doesn't have the balls to come over and talk to you. Leave him where he is, smile sweetly from across the room, and go back to whatever it was you were doing. Maybe he'll grow a pair and come over, maybe he won't.
If you're really not interested in talking to anyone new, politely refuse the drink and get some separation space.

It's impolite to walk away without a bit of conversation, so if you don't want to talk to someone you shouldn't accept a drink from them.

If a guy buys you a drink you should be nice enough to have a conversation with him. it's kinda rude to just take the drink and walk away!

I think that you should accept the drink, say thanks and maybe make a little small talk ~ who knows the other person might be pretty great and you would be missing out on something!

I don't accept drinks from people that I don't know especially if it's the opposite gender!
