When someone orders a 'large red wine' on your round do you get the urge to order two pints of beer

[Ashberto]

on theirs?

for fear of upsetting the buyer?

As they can simply share a bottle between themq

[Monty91]

you're treated as an antisocial pariah.

[Monty91]

where offence, misunderstanding and peer pressure is unlikely to interfere with your decisions.

I usually get stuck on a horribly guinness spiral on rounds, I'd far rather have some variety (lets be honest, alcohol tastes like **** anyway so it's pretty easy to get sick of) in my drinking so prefer to go it alone.

[Snin]

with a bunch of mates imo

[Ashberto]

If u don't like alcohol thats ur lookout but for people that do, the sensible think is to stick to one drink.

[Ashberto]

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

That isn't workable in a busy pub, and strikes me as being a bit anti-social. Everyone is together, but not together if you see what i mean.

[Classic Jorge]

The whole One Pint, One Man paradigm is f**ked

slightly easier to negotiate and get on the wavelength more than supping a real ale...time and a place

[Ashberto]

other people's opinions are also valid.

[Monty91]

amongst friends, then they can't be very good friends.

good old days.

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

It's more that a group of people sitting together and each individually toddling off to the bar to get themself a drink seems a bit anti-social

The man in question has done this a number of times to me without ever having bought me a pint in return and you're telling me that I'm tight?

[Monty91]

The great pleasure of being amongst friends is not having to give a **** about that kind of thing.

[Classic Jorge]

Drinking wine in pubs? What a bender

[Monty91]

Is he a friend? If not, why shouldn't he take advantage of your cowardice in not calling him out on his behaviour?

[Monty91]

beer hall called the haufbrauhausser (?), and being used to paying for individual drinks, I got up at the end and left, forgetting about my tab.

Five minutes later I got collared by my waiter in a shop down the road :-(

Your German is essentially an honest, law-abiding fellow though. That excellent system probably wouldn't work anywhere else.

[halfsharkalligatorhalfman]

most definitely.

that makes some people say "hang on, I should get these, I owe you a few".

I will eventually have words.

[Monty91]

And by 'good', I mean 'borderline pornographic'.
