Can you play a Home game with rake?

[PhatPots]

Normally I play a $10 tourney with friends and we allow rebuys. One guy who I have begun to play with tells me that his friend plays a 5/10 game at his place. He invited me a few times to come and play. This 5/10 game is raked. He and I were arguing and I was saying that I would never play in a raked home game. I play at the casino because they have a professional dealer, the game is protected, and free drinks.

He claims that his friend provides drinks.... but still, I don't think that friends should charge each other a rake. What does everyone else think? I would rather go to the casino and play there.
