Alcoholic drink

Domestic tap beer is usually cheapest. Bud, Miller, something like that. If the taps are fancy, bottled Bud might be cheaper.
Vodka cranberry with well vodka. If you’re female and on the west coast, that’s 90% of the mixed drinks served. Basic
I nearly always get a Moscato. Tell us the place and I bet someone here knows the prices 
I stand by the Bud for keeping costs low.
Domestic beer is almost always the least expensive alcoholic beverage on the menu unless they are running some sort of special like Dollaritas.

you're required to ORDER an alcoholic drink. You're not required to drink it.

You are most likely required to report on the quality of the drink.
As a craft beer snob I got quite a chuckle out of some of the Bud comments. And it prompted me to share the best bathroom graffiti I've seen in a while, from The Bayou here in SLC, one of the top 100 beer bars in the country:
"Your father drinks Bud Light"
:-D

I prefer craft beer as well. I would rather pay a few bucks more to drink beer that has flavor.

That hasn't been my experience with restaurant shops. They want a picture of the drink before you drink it, and they want to know how long it took for them to bring it to you. But not a single restaurant that I have done has ever asked about the quality. I couldn't give anyone a qualified opinion of the quality of a beer, they all taste like crap to me, I couldn't tell a Bud Light from a Sam Adams if my life depended on it.
Totally depends on the restaurant. I've been asked to give opinion on the mixing of the drink or freshness or temperature of beer. For example, most of the time though alcohol ordering is for compliance purposes or to confirm at the bar they're using the proper tools to measure or they're confirming your old enough to drink.

Fair. Most of the shops that require a drink that I perform do ask about the quality of the drink.
If it is a place that requires a stop in the bar for the drink before or after the meal make sure to be there during happy hour.
I have done shops that ask whether the server / bartender offered a refill once your drink was 75% empty. That requires that you either drink or otherwise dispose of the liquid.

IF your drink becomes empty.. There is no requirement for the drink to become empty. And that also does not apply solely to the alcoholic beverage. If you have a glass of water or lemonade or soda they are also expected to offer a refill of those.
I can't drink anymore. And actually there are some of those restaurant shops where there are no alcoholic beverages I would have tried even when I still could drink. If there is an option to buy something without alcohol I will, or I will buy the required alcoholic beverage and a tall glass of ice water also.

I just did a shop and they wanted to know about the quality of the drink. But the guidelines also required order at least one cocktail, so, that probably made a difference.

Well, I guess that's better than your little girl / little boy.
Speaking of which I noticed that TXRH pulled Bud Light from the taps near me. Just as well, I don't know how anyone can drink it as beer.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/10/2023 08:49PM by maverick1.
Do you do this at the bar? If so, how does the situation play out when you need to close out with an untouched alcoholic beverage sitting there?

MSF, yes, I have done it sitting at the bar in a steakhouse restaurant. The bartender says nothing, they don't care. I had one server, not at the steakhouse restaurant, but at a family style restaurant, ask if I didn't like the drink, and I told them that it simply didn't taste good to me and I probably should have known that I wouldn't like it, because it's not a drink I would normally choose.
