I would feel the same. You have two options: 1. The preferred option, start drinking alcohol. If you haven't already learned the joys of red wine, I will make it my first order of business when/if we meet. 2. Find the most expensive non-alcoholic drink and enjoy multiple rounds of it. Most cocktails can be made "virgin" and they cost the same as alcoholic cocktails ;) But in any case, people arriving early and putting things on the tab is unacceptable. I think it is perfectly appropriate to insist that people pay for their own drinks! Oh, I have one more suggestion. Next time take another friend with you and make sure this friend can drink a lot more than anybody else. From next time everybody else will be proposing that they pay for their own alcohol :) <b>Dream Catcher:</b> Great to know!

I used to go out often with a group of friends where we split the bill equally at the end. Trouble is that <b>some used to get to the restaurant / club earlier</b> (you missed this point!!) than I usually showed up & they'd order entrees, lots of drinks etc. Also, since I don't drink alcohol I usually end spending a lot more than I should probably since I'm splitting the cost of everyone's drinks too. Most unfair I think. I once suggested that at least the alcohol bill should be split only by those drinking (since it was a different bill from the bar anyway) and this was followed that night. Next time, same story though. And I felt like a mighty cheapo, so I didn't bring it up again. Wish there was an easier way out of these things. Ok, not a funny comment but a factual one.
