Friend won’t buy rounds!

Went to pub with two friends and one paid for a round for us all (they were paying me back for something anyway so square). Second friend didn’t lift a finger out of their pocket, waited until the end and said they didn’t want another drink, never goes to the bar or buys a round. I didn’t offer on principle as have noticed a pattern. Aib unreasonable?

I'v got past that now, I happily say to my group of friends, that I prefer to buy my own, and to go ahead with the round without me. They drink Pinot, double G&T, Cocktails, and I generally have a couple of drinks in the night, say Pint of larger shandy, maybe a Malibu and coke, and soft drinks. I certainly do not want to be subbing people's expensive drink habits.

I think CFs play on people's kindness and not willing to stand up to them as to appear rude or ott.

I don't do tabs either, as I don't want to be subbing other people's expensive drink habits, and its a faff to go through at the end of the night and calculate who has drunk what.
