A couple of my buddies are hosting a baseball tailgate this weekend. They are buying all of the beer and food and providing the music and whatnot and not asking for any money.

What’s an appropriate amount to Venmo? Should I do it based on how much beer I drink or just a set amount? It’d be shitty not to give anything obviously but I don’t want to give too much.

this is how this shite works junior, they have invited you to their tailgate as a guest, you're not required to offer anything, but baw etiquette mandates that you make the offer to kick in and the proper etiquette response is that your host thank you and politely decline your offer, then you will be invited to the next one

You should give each "buddy" a blowjob and swallow. Only way it counts as payment.

Bring some boudin and a bottle of Fireball, and/or some eye candy.

Then, it's a draw.

Why don't you bring something to the party? Food and booze. I wouldn't expect people to pay me for a party I invited them too.

In the land of grown-ups that means you don't pay anything. But you do host a tailgate or bbq or boating or something to reciprocate.

Ahh, nevermind.

If you are in the Venmo age bracket just look and see what other people are sending him and send an according amount.

Pay for the beer, food should be taken care of by the host. FWIW, when you turn 30 and you host a get together you should not ask for anyone attending to pay up.

You can never go wrong bringing a bottle of fireball and some fit girls in their 20s.

Also cocaine.

Screw the Venmo shite. Go by Fresh Market and pop 10 bucks for a pie. Desserts are always welcome at these things.

Bring the host a decent bottle of bourbon or wine or whatever they drink.

Offer something or to help set it up. If they decline thank them and make sure you put on some event in the future and invite them.

Me and my friends roll that way. Rarely ask to chip in just expect the others to return the favor at times.

I would give either $40 or a decent bottle of whiskey. Really depends on the scale of what your friend it setting up, though.
