I take mooching to be repeatedly and intentionally getting things from someone else that you have no intention to pay back in some fashion. Sharing on the other hand, might mean you take the check this time, and I'll grab it next time.
I do not mooch - in most cases, I can tend to be a little soft about people mooching from me. However, there is a line between helping someone out and being taken advantage of. To that extent, I don't loan money and expect to be paid back - it's either a gift or I don't do it at all.
As a socially acceptable practice, mooching does not have a continual welcomed place, in my eyes. Those who do so often have to switch to others after a time, because very few people I know would consider putting up with it for any extended length of time.
