Well, yh, it shouldn’t feel like it but when you’re not in a group (so there’s no question of getting a round in, unless a familiar local offers to buy you a drink anyway) and you’re not actually buying a drink, of any kind (not even a cordial), it can just feel a little cheeky making the bar-staff get you a water, when they could be making profit from someone-else. Moreover, some pubs (old-men pubs) can be so dingy and grubby that you can’t necessarily even trust that the tap-water will be clean or comfortable for you to drink.
