Buying rounds left to the men
Going back to that old gripe about women who won't go up to the bar and get a round in. I don't think that it is fair that the job of buying drinks is left to the men at these occasions. Why don't women go to the bar?

It really annoys me that some people will not put their hands in their pockets to buy a drink when it is their turn. For me this seems to happen at weddings and birthdays etc.. where my brothers and I will end up paying for everyone.

| 09-8-2008 | Don't drink! That will take care of the whole thing. When someone asks you why then tell them! Your money is your money and noone made you buy anything for anyone. The lubed you are the more free you are buying drinks. I just hope that NO ONE is driving after ward!

| 06-6-2008 | "Mean or Mug", and chad. It's so sad the world has come to this really. It takes a long time to learn this lesson and I have learned it too. | Mark |
| 06-6-2008 | I have recently come to the reality that money can't buy love... I am not rich but like seeing my friends happy when out with me. Some of them don't have the money so I take care of the tab. I realize that true friends are friends that don't care what you have. If you are that guy, li...more | Chad |
| 21-1-2008 | If everyone is drinking, then everyone should pay, women and young people included. The only exceptions I can think of would be if someone is currently out of work, at college or uni or a stay at home mum - and as long as everyone is happy to subsidise them.
Just buy your own in future, and let th...more | L is for Lager |
| 01-1-2008 | SIMPLE. Don't do rounds and everyone buys their own drinks. I find that's the best way if you don't want to end up buying for the ones who plead ignorant or 'nip to the loo' when it's their round. | Lisa |
| 30-10-2007 | Lisa,
It's a small feline (tabby cat I think) found in some of the more exclusive clubs and pubs. The drinks kitty is small and nimble, therefore able to get under the tables and between legs. It will go round everyone and collect their money in a little pouch around its neck. There's ...more | Mustafa Larf |

Thanks!

| 14-5-2007 | Drinks kitty is a great idea. My advice would be to talk to your brothers and explain the issue. If they understand, then great - next time everyone will chip in, or it will be proportionate. If not, then next time the occasion arises, simply don't offer to buy a round or 'chip in' - thi...more | Devon girl |
| 19-4-2007 | I agree, they should go dutch, and not expect freebies all night.
Same as opening doors, or giving up seats, ( I only do this for pregnant women) they arn't SUPERIOR to us are they.?

| 18-4-2007 | Simple solution to this one. Just tell them that you are going dutch tonight as you are a bit strapped for cash. | Freddie |
| 18-4-2007 | Tell everyone that you have a liver complaint and can't drink anything. But at the same time carry a hip flask containing your favorite spirits. Top up your glass of water with it.
They'll feel guilty letting you buy drinks in these circumstances. | Hipster |
