Dining Out Rules

Dessert is the whole point of the meal. You should go out for what you cant have at home. You cant have someone serve your entire household. You can have iced tea at home. Sweetened to your exact specifications. I am also sure you paid your water bill if you are going out to eat. It is only connoisseurs who drink water. Dining is an experience. Most people don't do it often. So when you do do it, do it well. Drink (alcohol or fresh squeezed something), eat (everything, including dessert), and be merry (don't go with people you don't like).

On the last one. My friends and I (at least the ones I will go out with) either take turns paying or split it all evenly. Separate checks are for people you will never see again. If one person in the group cannot afford it, cover them until they can. Who knows when that will be you. On both ends, you either need to be the friend who can help out or be the friend who can admit they can't afford it. And you both need to be able to accept the others situation. If you cant be friendly with your friends, you all aren't friends. Hence, don't go out with people you don't like.
Everything else is self explanatory. Drink, eat, be merry! And be good

..tippers that is.
