[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a PP who usually has 0 drinks in a week, but who has an occasionally glass of wine, about 1 every month or 2. To answer the questions above:

When I eat, no matter where I am, I almost always drink plain (still) water.

Like most people (?), I socialize at my home or the homes of others, at restaurants, and occasionally at a bar. At these times, I usually club soda or sparkling water. I feel zero (0) weirdness about drinking non-alcoholic drinks while others are imbibing. Doesn't bother me in the least.[/quote]

Do you tip extra? I wonder if waiters hate when people don’t order alcohol. When our family goes out, DH and I probably order $40-$50 in drinks if we don’t get a bottle of wine. So food only at a casual restaurant is probably under $100 but with alcohol it would add $10 to the tip. [/quote]

I was a waitress in college and yes, the drinking tables had bigger tabs, but they also tended to be cheaper (i.e. they spent their money on alcohol) or sloppier (i.e. they didn't correctly calculate the tip) than the sober tables. Also, tables that drink tend to stay longer, so I could flip two sober tables in the time I could flip one drunk table.[/quote]
