My first job as a waiter had a smoking section. Was banned just a year later but imagine being forced to work in that condition.
The smoking section was coveted because smokers drank more, hence better tips.
I don't think drinking slowed down one bit just because smoking was removed indoors.
Probably not, but that is a separate thing from the proportion of drinks sold in the section being higher while it existed.
Per capita alcohol consumption peaked in the US between 1975-1985
I remember when I was a kid all the restaurants had ashtrays on the table. Even McDonalds and Burger King had little aluminum ashtrays on the tables. You could have your cheeseburgers with a side of secondhand smoke.
It’s ok you can just work the non-smoking section!
