Is this ‘friend’ taking the piss?

We have a garden shed converted into a bit of a man cave which includes a beer/lemonade fridge.
When my ds has friends round I put out nibbles and tell them to help themselves. Luckily they are a sensible bunch, don’t drink alcohol or leave a mess and as they are school kids I don’t expect them to bring anything.
My DH has also had lots of different friends round, most bring a pack of beer and leave any they haven’t drunk themselves ‘for the host’.
Now I get onto my question. There is one friend who comes round once a week empty handed. He drinks a couple of cans from our fridge then goes home.
Do most people agree with me that this is a piss take or am I not being a good host?

Because not abuse. Typo

Honestly, I would remove them from the fridge on the nights he comes. I wouldn't if he was a good friend but if he's tight then I definitely would.

Yeah just keep the fridge empty for the next few visits - he may even stop coming.
