I've got a question for y'all. So, you're hosting a get together at your place, guests age ranges from mid 20s - mid 40s. Do you supply the whole party with alcohol or do you supply some and assume they'll bring some as well?

    We usually say BYOB and then have some extra or make a huge supply of a certain mixed drink.

    I always think the general rule of thumb when it comes to casual get togethers is that everyone brings there own alcohol. Food is generally provided by the host though.

    I would supply some but they should take it upon themselves to bring some as well. Now the strippers.. You should supply those.

    Thanks guys. Guess we'll supply wine and such with mixers and food, and get them to bring their own hard stuff.

    I think that people should assume they should bring something with them but its always good to have a case of beer and a bottle of vodka handy just incase. :)

    I'm a big drinker and love to mix drinks so I'd be supplying everything...except my really good stuff, which I'm saving for the zombie apocalypse.

    I always supply all the liquor, but more often than not guests give gifts of wine or hard liquor and that may or may not be added to the supply. If it's really top shelf, it gets hidden away just for me.

    We supply wine and two kinds of beer in addition to food, appetizers and mixers. If they want liquor they bring their own.

    It's pretty common practice to supply some, maybe a case of beer, 2 bottles red and 2 bottles white. But don't assume they'll bring their own, tell them what you'll have on hand and that if they want to BYOB they should.

    Depends for us. If it's the usual Friday/Saturday get together everyone brings their own, but when we throw special parties.. (Halloween, Summer get together, etc) We always have a few bottles of wine and hard stuff, jager and sour puss for people to do shots/mix drinks etc.

    A friend of mine usually hosts all the parties - she has the house for it. I buy a couple of bottles of "two buck chuck" (Charles Shaw from Trader Joe's, $2.99 a bottle) and bring them to every party, plus a bottle of something nicer for her (which is not opened at the party unless she wants to - quite often those bottles end up in her cellar).

    But all of my friends bring either a bottle or six-pack for sharing or some food. She usually ends up with more alcohol in the house after the party is over than before. She just puts the unopened bottles in the cellar and brings them out for the next party (and occasionally she notes "DO NOT BRING WINE" so we can work on cleaning out the cellar a bit - LOL).

    Good friends bring a bottle of their own to share. Sometimes a simple BYOB is enough to encourage that. The host(ess) should not be responsible for buying everything - that gets expensive.
