Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : To start off with i will say that this is not me in case, it's my friend/classmate and i will apologise in advance for my broken english as it is my second language.

Ok a bit of backstory, so we are 17/18 years old and at second grade of college/high school. there is this kind of a tradition to celebrate the third graders/seniors leaving the school that we celebrate it by hosting them a party and buying all the alcohol and food for them. and also there is another tradition going on about the same time now that the second graders have this oldish event in which we have a lot of old dances that we train and then there will be our big day to show off everyone how good of dancers we are.

&amp;#x200B;

So the thing is that we have also a party after our dance in the evening and usually people drink quite a lot in there and we have to pay for everything collectively beforehand. And now that we are planning both for the party of the seniors leaving and our party after the dances. we came to a conclusion that everyone should pay 20 euros so we can pay for both. And if you didn't want to take part in our party after the dance you just wouldn't pay 10 euros and not come to the party, And also if you didn't want to pay for the seniors goodbye party then you just wouldnt be able to join next year when the current second graders would pay for you. quite simple.

So now we are at the point where everything is basically figured out and done. But my friend has strong beliefs against alcoholism and didn't want to support the drinking or drink himself.  I of course assumed that he would just pay his part on everything else since the was a good planning for budget and all expenses were figured out so he just wouldn't pay his part for the alcohol costs.

Here is  where is was really surprised that almost everyone started to scream to him that just pay the fucking 20euros and get this done with and don't fuck around. he explained that he just felt that he wouldn't like to part of supporting heavy drinking and just not pay for the alcohol and not drink it by himself now or the next year when we get the party. even after he gave a proper explanation  people still talked shit about him that "always like this, never willing to co-operate" which is partially true but in this matter I couldn't really understand why he wouldn't be able to just pay his part of the other costs like rent and food. And people kept telling him that just pay the fucking 20 euros and we can use it to buy foor and not alcohol so everyone will be happy, but as obviously terrible argument as that is because simply there would be more money to buy alcohol since someone else wouldn't pay for the food and buy more alcohol which would still support heavy drinking.

I most often can relate to other views or atleast understand them but in this case i truly can't understand why wouldn't he be able to just pay his part in other costs so he would just be able to join the party and not dring because i was basically the only one that got his back. so is my friend truly an asshole?
