Yes, of course, provided we are each paying for ourselves. No way her choices are going to harsh my mellow.

If my friend invited me and I expect that she/he might offer to pay, I might pass not wanting to jack up the bill. Otherwise, wine. now. please. yum.

If my friend is an orthodox jew and is kosher, does that mean I cannot order a crab cake sandwich?
WTF?
WTF?

No, if it is just the two of us. Yes, if it is a group.

Yes of course. My religion, Episcopalian, believes in drinking and a free market economy. If I have ignored his snake handling religion, he should ignore mine!

I don't drink. I couldn't care less if you do. Drink like a fish.

I see it as would you order a steak in front of a vegetarian friend, OP? If not, don't order alcohol.

I have several Mormon friends and I have never seen any of them care at all if alcohol is consumed around them.

why do you assume this is a problem for the friend? I don't understand what your point is. I often don't drink, but if my friends choose to do so, it doesn't bother me at all.

I am thinking from a courtesy standpoint (this is OP) she knows alcohol is available at the restaurant

Yes of course, if you want one. If your friend is that judgy, then perhaps you should reconsider your friendship.

No. I don't need wine that badly.
But, friend wouldn't care either. She knows I don't follow her religion. She also thinks I'm going to hell because of it, but that's another story.

Of course. Why would you let his religion dictate what you do in this circumstance? (Wait - is she a Republican?)
