Dutch pay for drinks when they don’t drink anything? No way. If you didn’t drink any alcohol, why do they have to pay? Am I the strange one here?

Even if you didn’t drink, you were still together, enjoying the atmosphere.

Alright, but if I didn’t drink anything and yet, I was the mood maker, then I should be receiving money!

• “If you don’t drink even a sip of alcohol, then don’t they usually take you off the tab? That’s what we do…we only pay together for the food.”
• “I don’t drink and yet they split the bill all the time, even when it’s expensive alcohol like wine.”
• “I don’t drink, but I love the atmosphere of meeting people, so if they take me off the tab, I’m thankful, but if not, I’m ok too. Instead, I eat a lot of the food. Just think of it as paying for the fun.”
• “My friends always send me the amount without the alcohol fee.”
• “They never take me off the tab.”
