It's been a long time since I was out drinking with a group. The
incident where this happened was an Ontario "hotel" the sort of place
had a men's side and a Ladies and Escorts side and that used to only
beer, though by that time they also sold wine and liquor. These days
the only times I go out for drinks is with my motorcycling buddies. It
is usually just me and my friend but there may be one or two others.
They generally ask if we want to run a tab, but we are only there for
one beer so we don't do that.

I often used to pass on dessert and have a nice single malt whiskey.
