Birthday... who pays?
I just read Senusret's post in the drunk thread, and I didn't wana hijack.
My lil sis and I share the same birthday. After our Monday night meeting, we went to the usual "after-meeting" bar. It was her 21st, my 22nd. Who bought us drinks? No one. We bought each other a shot, and did them by ourselves. Also, on my 21st my parents got me a really nice limo for the night. I bought ALL of my drinks and limo-alcohol.... after I invited all these people in my limo. So.... when you go out for your friends' birthdays, do you ever offer a drink? |
It's always been an unspoken rule amongst my group of friends that if we're going out for your birthday then the birthday-person is not allowed to pay for a single drink. :)

I don't think I've ever paid for a drink on my birthday. |
That's a good plan! And I understand that alot of my friends are pretty broke college students (I'm beginning to learn what that's like), but I get drunk off of 3 Smirnoff Twists/Mike's Hard or two liquor drinks. I'm a cheap date!

Buying the birthday girl/guy a shot was the preferred way to go for all of us broke in college. I don't think I ever really got/gave a present (maybe a lei - it's a hawaiian thing, right OTW? :D ), but I was sure that between all my friends I'd be set with shots all night. It's only $3-5, anybody can afford that!

I think that the bartender should buy you a drink. I buy my friends a drink for their birthday. :) Or when a group goes out to dinner, we all pay for the birthday girl.
|
It's so tacky when people come along for the birthday thrills but aren't willing to pony up the $ for one little drink, much less dinner.

As a guest you should buy a drink but as the host you're not entitled to anything. |

In my group of friends its an unspoken rule that the ladies never pay for a single drink. Sometimes I love being a girl. :D |

Never go out on my Birthday, to damn depressing!:(

On my birthday I drank for free minus one drink. Usually though we will offer to buy a drink for the birthday person. Sometimes it's tricky for weeknight birthdays at school when only two people go out!
|
We go out to dinner and split the tab for the birthday girl. We also all go in on a nice gift - about $10-20 each depending on the gift. For 18, 19 and 20th bdays, our guy friends in this one fraternity kindly hosted floor partys or beer pong nights - they paid of course! I have unfortunately missed all of my good friends 21sts since I've been abroad for six months... so I'm not sure what the deal is there!

For someone reason, the only brithdaythat the birthday person winds up paying happens to be mine :confused: I don't know why this is, but it's the truth. Besides for mine, the birthday girl/guy never pays.....
One or two people iwll chip in for me but I always wind up laying down money |
for my bday I didn't pay for anything except cover at the bar... and my friends got mad when they found out that I had paid... if someone buys me a drink on my bday I try to return the favor on their bday... but if they don't have money it's cool... I'll usually still get them a drink on their bday...
