Yale's group ordered several dishes and some drinks, but the owner, who went personally to take note of their orders as they were special guests, wasn't shocked by the fact that they asked the most expensive stuff knowing that the mayor would pay.
The woman thought that it was proper that they acted like that or else the efforts of the mayor trying to be in good terms with them wouldn't be too effective.
On the other hand, she couldn't understand why they hadn't asked even for one alcoholic drink.
Almost every table had several alcoholic drinks, and those who only had one was because they didn't have money for more.
Of course, Yale's group wasn't worried about the money at all, so that wasn't the reason. Moreover, given their strength there was no way that the alcohol in the bar would have any chance to make them drunk, so even if they were doing important stuff, it shouldn't matter if they drink alcohol.
