      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.
