Here's the scenario. You go out to dinner with a group of friends. You get appetizers for the table, drinks are being ordered left and right, you share a few desserts, and when the bill comes, it's just assumed that you split it equally. This would make sense if you all ate and drank the same, but that really doesn't happen, does it? I usually have my fair share of drinks with dinner, but when I see my friend sipping Pellegrino [1], I feel like it's not fair for her and she'll end up paying for my drinks.

So what do you do in this situation? Do you split the bill even if one person ordered fillet mignon [2] and another ordered a side salad? Do you ask for a separate bill when you order or do accept that it's just the price you pay for going to dinner in a group?
