Why do restaurants always put their drinks on the last page of the menu, but try to take your drink order as soon as you sit down?

Considering it’s always the first thing asked for drinks at a restaurant should be on the first page of the menu

At a restaurant, you always order drinks first but the drinks are always at the back of the menu.

At restaurants the drinks are always labeled at the back of a menu, but it’s the first thing you order.

Restaurants take your drink order first drinks are listed on the last page of the menu. Is there a group or organization trying to change this?

Why do restaurants put the list of drinks on the last page of the menu when it’s the first thing you order…wouldn’t it just make sense to list drinks before food so I don’t look like a dummy flipping all the way to the end when the server comes by…?????

The drink list on a restaurant menu is never at the very front despite it being the first question asked at every restaurant.

Restaurant menus always seem to put drinks, the first thing you order, on the last page of the menu.
