Well, your friends are being unreasonable in that situation. If I go out somewhere and decide that night that I want to order a few glasses of the most expensive scotch they have, plus an appetizer, and a dish $30 more expensive than anyone elses, then I'm obviously expecting to pay for what I ordered.
If on the other hand you're out with 2 or 3 people and you all have, for example, one normal dish and a beer, plus split an appetizer, then I think it only makes sense to just divide the bill evenly. In this situation I think putting on your reading glasses and busting out the fine-tooth comb to look over the bill is a little ridiculous, and makes you look cheap.
