Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
You could order an extra entree to-go. Make sure it's about the same cost as the bar bill.
Or, you could pull up your big boy pants and mention to your friends (which you haven’t yet) that you no longer consume alcohol and would now like to modify the long ago established rules of the game from a split check to separate checks. It’s really up to OP to bring it up since their change is recent and they haven’t mentioned it to their friends yet. The friends are just continuing a long established format that no one has yet asked to change.
Wouldn’t ordering food to-go to “show them” be a childish way to communicate your desire for a change from a long established tradition between the couples to a new way which accommodates their recent health situation?
Or maybe you were just making a joke?
