Huh. I've never run across that, but then I don't really eat out all that much, and many places around here don't serve alcohol anyway. I wonder if the reason I haven't noticed it is that very often when I eat out, I'm accompanied by my husband and/or 2 or 3 of my very large (and thus older-appearing and more intimidating) teenage/twentysomething sons? (Read: protective males.)

Regardless, you're 100 percent correct about the implications, in my book. I'm glad you brought it up; it needs to be aired.

I only ever go out to eat with other women, and there is definitely always alcohol served in California and Washington, so I've come across it a lot. Much less in San Francisco than here. I don't know if that is because of the laws in SF like with every alcoholic beverage you must serve a glass of water, devised to cut down on binge drinking and on drunk driving? It is creepy though.
