A question on buying rounds.
Going out with a few friends and there has always been a rounds etiquette - your turn you buy, I've always followed the rules.
However, I am trying to stop drinking for a while and would like to abstain from getting involved in buying at all as i will just be drinking soft drink, but fear that won't go down so well, I dont want to be a tightarse, just don't want to get invovled, there is only so much diet coke one can drink.
Should I buy the first round and make it clear that's it? Would it be ok, just not to be involved at all. Or do I need to suck it up ?
Thoughts?
