Be sure they are extra drinks. If the place has a two drink minimum and there are five of you, expect to be billed for ten drinks, no matter how many you actually ordered.

If that's not the case, mention it to the server who will probably get it corrected for you. The wrong bill gets grabbed all the time.

I've had this happen twice and have had them subsequently removed... once with a bit of attitude... but I know I didn't down a whole pitcher of beer... myself!

Easy. "We didn't order these. We had {long winded descript of what we actually had}" -- result every time, removal of the mistakenly applied drinks.

Doesn't seem like there's much to "handle" if it's an honest mistake? They've always fixed it...

The last thing you want to do is give your credit card details to a dodgey establishment, unless your gonna cancel it the next day

Pay by cash and scarper
