I know quite a few bartenders who tell me that it is true that younger kids aren’t drinking but they are still going to the bars with friends that do drink. Where before you might have a customer a night who didn’t drink now there are a few tables with groups that includes nonalcoholic drinkers. A couple have told me of groups where the non drinkers out number the person drinking alcoholic beverages. They just want to hangout with friends and sip cokes or club sodas. As long as they tip something no one cares.

In Seattle they serve CBD sodas. Nice alternative and flavorful

A beer delivery driver told my where he’s based at they can only deliver CBD or THC sodas to the strip clubs. I had no idea some of them couldn’t serve beer. Missouri for ya.

They already paid for the drinks.

I don't believe that nobody cares. Coke is $5 maybe. Any fucking thing in restaurant with any alcohol is $15+

Profit margins on cocktails are basically 100%

Way more than 100% I think. I've heard from a guy who was a restaurant manager that 1 drink pays for the bottle, and cocktails are even more marked up I reckon
