Tip on eating with a group

I definitely don't recommend going to get food and or drinks with people who consume more than they are willing to pay for.  If this doesn't bother you, then right on.  I find this behavior annoying and unless you HAVE to go to an event I recommend one of the following:

• Don't go
• Get your own bill (I could care less if people get upset about this, but I really don't like paying more than I ate / drank)
• Take the time to figure out exactly what you ordered and don't forget to leave a tip.  If the people you are with can't figure this out, then do it for them. (Most of the time they can, but they just don't want to)
• My personal favorite: Go out with people who are cool, fun, and aren't stingy on the cash
