[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We typically split everything down the middle with friends.  Someone always has an extra drink or a more expensive meal - if it's friends, are you really keeping track?  If there are kids, if we're 4 ppl and you are 5 ppl, divide by 9 and do the math.  If it's younger people (nieces/nephews) we pick up the check.  Do the same for our kids friends - if they are with us, we're paying.  If it's people who are really scraping by, we entertain at home and serve the food we want to and no one expects to pay for that except us.  [/quote]

Voice of reason.

I think it comes down to this: [b]if you can't afford to eat out, DON'T.[/b] (And I say this as a person who passed up plenty of invitations during leaner times.)[/quote]

I would not deliberately stick a friend with a big bill for food/drink they did not eat, but then again I'm not monitoring everyone's consumption.  If you can't afford to go out, you just shouldn't.  It's not fair to your friends to make them be your party and spending monitors.
