Waiters take your drink order, just like your food order, and bring it to the table, just like your food. They don't prepare either your drinks or your food; how do you justify tipping for one and not the other?

I know many restaurants have their wait staff share tips with the bartenders. So, if you are heavy drinkers like my friends and I, tip on the whole amount, and leave a couple extra % for "rowdiness" factor.
