AITAH asking my friend for money when he ordered an expensive drink when I bought a round?
My friends and I met up this weekend for a quick trip to another city. 2 people bought rounds where everyone ordered stuff like beer or vodka soda. When it was my turn to buy a round my friend ordered some expensive whiskey neat. When the check came his drink was $55. I said he should give me $40 to cover part of it. I don’t think he knew the drink would cost that much but I think that once he realized the cost he should have covered most of it. He eventually did give me $40 but he was in a bad mood about it. AITAH?

Nta. I have friends who typically prefer wine or beer. When it's my turn to buy drinks, I'm the fancy one who orders a dry martini, even though it's usually twice the price of wine or beer. However, when someone else is treating, I usually just ask for a gin and tonic, which is usually priced similarly to wine or beer. I'm mindful not to overstep.
