You know how it is, a few drinks in to an evening out with the lads or work colleagues, a birthday or Christmas do,
when you offer to get a round in because people were doing rounds when there were four of you and now there's twelve of you, but it's your turn and plain good manners mean open the offer to newcomers and you're sure you'll be fine because everyone will get a round in and actually, I've spent £70 but I'm due everyone's return pints so I'll see it back and Whoa, am I actually going to drink 16 pints tonight? No... ah well never mind and....add a kebab, a taxi...the next morning you are left wondering how your wallet is still smoking from when you burned through £100 in one night but only drank 7 pints.

Normal pub etiquette was just to stay in the established round and it was rude to expect join into one. I could just be tight though

I usually avoid this problem by just enjoying myself rather than hysterically panicking about how many drinks I've bought and how many I've drunk.
Have I been socialising wrong for the last 25 years?

I hated rounds.
So I'm happy here where a serving person brings me beer and keeps a tab or takes the money. Even on a table of 10 drinkers I only pay for what I had which is often one too many anyway.

It's a good plan on a stag party
or some other event where the numbers involved or the amount of money involved is high.

It's fairly fucking depressing for a standard night out, no?
