    Try this:

    The waiter brought drinks to I.

    Sounds werid as hell, right? That’s what’s wrong with that sentence. I is a subjective pronoun, not an objective pronoun. Adding “my friend and” in front of it doesn’t change that.

    I understand that it doesn’t matter to a lot of people, and it doesn’t matter for sentence clarity, but it sound weird AF to some folks.
