I don’t drink alcohol a lot - maybe a couple of times a month and 3 drinks usually my maximum.
Last night was out on a rare dancing night out with friends and they quickly wanted to do rounds. I said I’d get my own because the drinks were v expensive (£9 for a g+t, £10 for a cocktail) and me not drinking much.
I didn’t want one person paying £50 for a round and I didn’t want to pay £50 myself, so I got myself a cocktail and had a couple of mocktails later (£3.50 each)
I felt a bit excluded from the group due to this, but I don’t think I was being unreasonable to buy my own? Another friend who came who also doesn’t really drink, I bought her a g+t at her request as I owed her money for a taxi. She only drank a quarter of it, but still got involved in the rounds despite leaving most drinks bought for her. Another reason why I was reluctant to get involved as I hate wastage like that.
Is it impolite to not ‘do’ rounds ?
