Somebody Make This Happen #553: Table coupons in bars

[andrewducker]

I frequently wish that I could, in a bar, buy a coupon that has on it, written in tiny print "I do not want to drink alcohol this evening. And if I drink caffeine this close to bed I'll sleep badly. And I can't do sugary drinks. So all I can really drink is water. However, I fully respect the fact that I am making use of your establishment to hang out with my friends, and that providing this is not free for you."

I'd pay a couple of pounds for one, and buy a new one every hour or so, without thinking twice.

Tonic-water is my fallback, but it's not to everyone's taste. Or if the bar does mineral water, I'll go for that (despite really resenting paying for over-priced wee bottles of water).

But yes, I hear whatyou're saying and would bevery happy to pay some kind of bar fee, or non-corkage fee, especially if I'm with a group where several of us aren't drinking.

I've vaguely heard that buying say a round of chips for the table is roughly equivalent, given bar food markup?
