I try no to go to any place that serves alcohol. I also try and avoid any store that sells alcohol.
I am very fortunate that the area in which I live is dry. My home town is dry as is my wife's home town.
Sometime when we are traveling we may wind up in a restaurant that serves alcohol, like when we went to San Antonio. But we try to go to places that don't serve alcohol, it make us very uncomfortable.
]We usually go to Golden Corral or Ryan's, someplace that is family friendly. I don't care to be around a bunch of drunks while I am trying to eat.
I think it's pathetic that you live in an area in which people get drunk when eating at a restaurant that serves liquor. I've been lucky, I guess. I've been to Applebee's both in Green Bay and Appleton, WI (WI is known for it's liquor consumption as well as cheese), but I have yet to find anyone drunk there.

I don't recall ever seeing anyone drunk at a mainstream restaurant here either. Some very well have been, but if so I didn't see it.
I've been in McDonald's where bunches of Pentecostals were loud and disruptive. LOL
I have heard of Pentecostals being told not to come back to 'family oriented' restaurants because they were too noisy and disruptive.
I've also seen them not leave tips because they thought the waitress wasn't fast enough!
I remember being with a group (sadly, they were members of the church I belonged to) who treated the waitress so badly that she was crying, and my mother and a couple others along with myself gave her a total of about $50 (this was a group of mostly women that numbered about 20) to make up for her harrassment. And we never went out with those people again.

I have seen this more then once as well! UPC groups getting kicked out.
Also, as the old saying goes, if you can't afford to tip then you can't afford to go out and unfortunately there are MANY old coots who think a buck (or nothing) is perfectly a-ok when going out. (hint hint: my father-in-law and grandma)

Like I said, I have seen more disruption and have had more personal embarrassment by being with disruptive Pentecostals than with friends drinking alcohol at a restaurant. In fact, of all the times I've been with drinking friends at a restaurant, NONE of them have ever been disruptive.
Sadly, I can't say that about the church folks.

Amen. I've taught my girls this. Also, both of them have worked for tips. They have grown up to be good tippers, from example and from experience.

Ditto. I've seen it too. Much more from church folk than from people drinking. I've been thinking as I've read this thread and I can honestly say that I can't remember ever having seen anyone being disruptive in a restaurant from drinking.

I have seen disruptive drunks at restaurants that were in that state before even arriving..... But not from sitting at a mainstream restaurant bar.
(Case in point our annual State Street "freak-fess" Halloween party here in Madison. I think most actually start the party the night before.)

My area is dry, alcohol is not served in our restaurants so I don't have to put up with drunks here.
THANK YOU.

The county I was raised in was dry and most of the surrounding counties(Kentucky). However after I went preaching out I was shocked that most of the country was not so I had to adapt.
