Is this an age related thing?

I went out with 5 other women to dinner last night.

Correct. I can think of a number of liqueurs which are a intended as a one shot, down it at once deal that most of the 'bar crowd picture" she tried to paint could never afford more than once. I can think of numerous times while dining in Europe where the owner of the restaurant brought a round of the house featured shots after our dinner. There was one in Germany (and my brain is shot--i couldn't remember the name of it to save my life) that was popular. It was a bit licorice-y tasting, was served aflame and with a coffee bean floating in it.
I dare the OP to try sipping a flaming drink :)
How large are we talking about? Six? or Twenty?
My husband and I used to take our boys out to eat with their cousins and our in-laws about once a month, maybe every six weeks. We expected to have our party of eight split into two checks. I can't recall anyone ever thinking that to be an unreasonable request. If someone had, we would have dealt with the situation, but I doubt we would have returned to that place when there were dozens of other places in town who were willing to accommodate our request.
But we seldom, if ever, went to the type of place where one is likely to have to stand in a long line or go the bar and drink awhile before a table was available. Standing around for 45 minutes with four kids never struck me as fun. I'd rather cook at home.
