I do it because of group pressure from people who have already entered
the stadium of semi-drunkenness (when the bill arrives) and who don't
give nearly as much thought to budgets as I do. Or who may simply never
have been as poor as I have been and thus have a different understanding
of money. I feel very uncomfortable bringing the subject up (it 5:1).
