Europe has a completely different cultural model. One of the most important services the waitstaff provides (for me anyway) is ensuring my beverages are refilled. This concept does not exist really where as they pay for every refill. This also changes the business dynamics as the Restaurant wants the waitstaff to "always be selling" to increase ticket revenue.

The US has a less hard sell model and free refills. That changes alot of the dynamics

This is only true for people who don't drink alcohol with their meal.

Given I stopped drinking over 20 years ago it is true for me.

Also if you are drinking alcohol (and only Alcohol) with EVERY meal, well you may have a problem
