It's definitely NOT regional. In fact, most of the major chain restaurants in the US don't list their drink prices on their menus, so you'll have no difficulty finding a "priceless" restaurant. From my experience at hundreds (thousands?) of restaurants nationwide, I'd say that way more than 75% do not put their alcoholic drink prices (other than wine) on their menus. It's definitely part of the Restaurant 101 curriculum on how to profitably operate your establishment.
