Can we call out this garbage behavior?
When I go out I usually have a rough idea of how much or how little I intend to drink. Sometimes that's several beers, sometimes one or two, sometimes nothing. On top of that, I am acutely aware of the aftereffects rum & cokes can have on me. Even if I don't get anywhere near drunk, my body reacts so badly to that concoction that I have to suffer well into the next morning. I don't know what that's about but I avoid them if at all possible.
Yet when someone decides HEYYY YOU GUYS ALL LIKE DRINKING RIGHT I'M GONNA BE A GOOD GUY AND MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY WITH MORE DRINKS they somehow think they're being a great friend by basically pressuring everyone into drinking whatever poison they've paid for and brought to the table. And for some reason in my experience it's more often than not going to be rum & coke. I don't want to drink it but now I'll feel guilty if I don't. Way to go, dude.
I guess all I'm saying is if you absolutely must buy a round of drinks, just go around and ask everyone involved if they would like one or not. Please understand.
EDIT: I'm talking about when someone buys you a drink and then verbally pressures you into drinking it. In my experience this seems to be the case a lot of the time, but maybe I'm just unfortunate enough to frequently end up drinking with terrible people. I should have made this clear.
