That's never happened to me. Buying drinks at a bar one at a time is not uncommon at all (maybe less so at a restaurant bar, but there are lots of places, like nightclubs, where you can't run a tab and have to pay per drink).
Worst case, Citi sends you a text asking if it's really you, you text back "1" for yes, and you keep drinking.
