They are friends of friends so fortunately don’t come out with us often. Another chap in the group drinks Long Island Iced Teas, but he always insists on putting in extra.

As a non drinker people think I shouldn't have to split but I don't care I'll split a bill equally
My sister and her husband are the worst when splitting take out.. exact Cash
Lucky covid means don't have to see them

This. ^^. If I've had something expensive or I've been particularly thirsty I'll put the extra in before it's split & am happy to do so.
This attitude actually killed a meal that we used to have with ex workmates. We used to go to an Chinese restaurant which ran an eat all you like fixed price menu. A couple of the wives ate very little, & consequently felt it was okay to put 3 bottles of wine (and not the cheap stuff) on the joint bill between them. It was mentioned the first time it happened, and then it happened a second time. They didn't get an opportunity for the hat-trick.

On the actual subject, I have no issue for a couple of pounds - playing peas and carrots as someone once said.
But if someone takes the proverbial and tries to bung their massive bill on to everyone else, they can go bleep themselves.

Always split, one of my mates drinks like a fish but will always chuck in an extra 20 at the end of the night.

Split or pay for the next one. Heck I go through the shopping bill with our lass and split that as well.

I am all for an even split. Only one that niggles me slightly is when people bring their kids. Family meal, 4 couples, 2 of whom have 2 kids each who do not order from the kids menu, have the full 3 courses etc yet the bill is always split 4 ways

Be British: Split the cost, personally order something modest, silently scream at anyone who orders something expensive and talk about them all the way home.
However, most work nights out have involved people throwing in extra if they’ve had more expensive food or drinks than others, which is the decent thing to do.

A group of us would meet at the pub and buy rounds of drinks. One bloke would always come to the group with his own pint, take a pint off each of the others then look at his watch and clear off just before his round, also he would always ask for the most expensive beer in the pub.
As it happened every week we all ended up not buying him a drink which was a bit embarrassing but he really was taking the Mick and was probably the best off there.

I can’t understand how anyone would feel ok with eating/drinking more expensively than others and expecting their pals to pick up the slack. I’m so anxious about that stuff that I keep a running £££ total with every drink and course. Maybe I’m the odd one...

I get anxious when we are drinking in rounds. If someone gets the first round in I always make sure I drink my first one fast so I can get to the bar and get a round in so I can’t be accused of hanging back.

This. There’s nothing worse than having an empty glass and waiting for a beer. If you’re in a round, you know when it’s your turn. Keep up or get out of the round.
Again in my circle of friends we all know the score 1/4 of a pint is the point to go and get the next round in. I find it to be those shandy drinking soft southerners who are shy at the bar ?

Yup sounds about right, when you have a good bunch of mates everyone knows when it’s time to get a round in...
Btw it’s the Northern folk that are bar shy, at least that’s how it seems when I’m visiting my West Cumbrian in-laws!?
