Americans don't do rounds it seemsMore than once when I lived in San Francisco, I was accused of "drinking like an Englishman", to which I could only plead guilty. Then I went and bought my own drinks while the Shermans made one "pint" last all evening.

Buying rounds seems to be a British phenomenon.In my experience it's an unknown custom in France, although that might be because waiting staff in France will actually come to your table and ask you what everyone wants rather than somebody having to go to the bar.

Americans generally go overboard as fratboysthen they lose interest.
Rounds don't work unless everyone is matching drink for drink.

This. Where I come from, you don't have to have a drink in every round, as long as everyone has their turn buying.
