#friendiquette

I have a friend (a surprise I know) classic joke about it being a surprise that I've got a friend har har har whose birthday it is today and as a result on Saturday we are having drinks to celebrate.

The problem is he we hang out and drink (responsibly of course) pretty much every Friday and Saturday anyway. So I should probably do something to make it different to every other weekend, it being his birthday and all.

What does a cool, socially "bleh" guy like myself do? Should I get him something? Would it be "wussy" or "mushy" if I did? Would it be weird because we are both guys? Would alcohol be a safe choice? Would alcohol be a more "manly" way to go? Should I even be worried about how I'll be perceived and just do a nice thing for a mate on a birthday get him something?
