By contrast, I was invited to a friend's birthday party, which was

drink, and he very politely declined, but agreed to a raincheck.
Never having been in such a situation, I'm wondering how you "buy
[someone] a drink" at an open bar. What do you say to the bar
person, "Take this round off the tab"?
