dining out separate checks


Question:
We are going out for dinner with 4 other couples. Some are very heavy drinkers, while others are not. How do we split the bill or do we ask for separate bills? I am not sure if the establishment will allow the bills to be split.
Answer:
IF the establishment won't give you separate checks for each couple, then all you need to do is stand up en masse and say you will go elsewhere. They will then leap to give you separate checks for each couple as they will not want to lose a potential $800 table.
