Who determined or proposed the "split it four ways" plan?
When I go out with friends, unless someone has specifically offered to take everybody out, we kind of naturally end up figuring it out so that everybody pays their fair share.
Sometimes, depending on who's there, someone will take charge of the situation, receiving the check and letting everybody know what they owe.
Otherwise, the check seems to naturally work its way around the table so everyone can see it and work out what they owe.

I wouldn't be so blunt as to say something judgmental about them doubling their order with drinks.
But if someone is specifically saying something like, "hey, it's $100 with tip – everybody kick in $25," I would simply say to that person, "I didn't have that much tonight. Could I see the check?"
