“And who even orders shots for themselves because they enjoy them anyway? Alcoholics in movies who sit alone in near empty bars. They are the only ones.”
For my money a flight of beer is more fun — going through a blonde, an IPA, an amber and a porter is like some magical beer journey, as opposed to 3 reds that taste pretty similar.
This would be my concern if I showed up before closing without a reservation at a more casual place, but would this be the case if you’re booking tables somewhere nice?
I think the most charitable explanation is that Culprit had some bad circumstances and maybe didn’t want to go out, but Initiators dragged her out to “treat” her (at the Group’s expense) and didn’t want to broadcast Culprit’s job loss/pet death/breakup to the Group. At least that’s what I’d tell myself so I could sleep at night and not worry about monsters who show up to group dinners and just don’t offer to pay.
Depends on the venue. In Nashville, I’ve had servers separate checks from the beginning without any fuss. In SF you get sneered at, and told that their “system” can’t process more than three cards.
Second the time management thing. You are on your OWN in law school. Most courses are 15 weeks of class building up to one final at the end that is graded on a curve for 100% of your grade, and that makes people CRAZY.
Two things if you go: 1) Make time for your health/gym/diet. 2) Keep seeing your non-law friends to remind you there’s a world outside of your books and grades.

Better than a wine bar in most ways.
The LV to SF drive is hopelessly long.
Do any of these calculations change when you’re in the wedding party?
Did you even see Phantom Thread, JD?
I read it as groom is the best friend, then I reread it, then read it again.
I think BRIDE is the best friend b/c she says she’s only known the guy with the Mrs.
Which makes this at least three times as psychotic.
More like UberPoor, amirite?
Perfect Johnny D counter trolling. The O Henry of PGP.

Splitting appetizers/desserts/sides usually scuttles this plan.

Usually turns into “hitting the send button” on messages to exes.
