When at a pub or restaurant with friends, either 1) pay as you go, or 2) get separate bills. Not only does it avoid the mass confusion of who owes what, plus tip, etc etc, but it avoids you getting screwed as well.
(case in point - when I was out with some people, stayed until the end, and paid $40 for my one beer, 1/5th nachos, and a coke)
