Serving spirits (or not) at a party

[Guest2]

I drank half the bottle then by total coincidence, Mrs. Feek bought me a bottle of the same gin for my birthday so one cancels out the other

Buck Dog Bomb

Basically a Jager Bomb where you substitute Red Bull for Buckfast. So that is a shot of Jager sitting inside a glass of bucky. Never have you seen so many people plastered after 2 rounds.

What a great idea.

Anyway, I have discussed with family and i've bought spirits and they will get soft drinks. My other family members are buying spirits too
I'll man a table with some family members who will serve a few drinks later on in the night for those that want them...
I got Vodka, JD, Rum & Tequila earlier, quite sure after a tequila starters no-one will care who or who isn't serving drinks

You could always hide a cheeky bottle or two around the house.

Sounds really pretentious and like they are really bad hosts, if you are organising an event you don't deliberately not cater to a large proportion of the guests that don't like beer/wine.

Might as well just go all the way and serve bread and water.

If they were concerned that people would get drunk it's absurd to be serving alcohol in the first place, most people on a night out are wasted from drinking pints of beer not enjoying a jd and coke lol.

Maybe it’s less of a ”party” than OP is making out. Might be more dinner with the family but the OP is so “cool” wouldn’t go unless told it was a party....

I don't understand why they wouldn't want people to be able to have spirits, what's wrong with a g&t or similar at a party? However it's utterly pathetic that someone would ditch a family party just because spirits aren't available, that mentality does point to a few reasons why spirits might not be wanted at the venue..

House parties for me always ended up with a bathroom appliance being ripped off the wall. Water everywhere, people rolling joints on the kitchen chopping board and ketchup smeared up walls. Those were proper house parties .

Destruction of peoples belongings is not a proper house party.

It's my party and I can cry if I want too, cry if I want to. You would cry too if it happened to you! (You big baby, not listening to your parents so you spitting your dummy out!)

Obviously but when you are 15-19 and someone organises a house party when their parents would go away for a weekend it would always end up like that due to total lack of control and irresponsible teenagers.

A few adults sitting around a table eating dinner does not equate to a house party in my mind.

They were not invented back then. Ketchup on the wall was mainly due to teenagers writing their name on the wall with it!

 

[builder22]

hah, I remember someone getting chased in to the kitchen at a 'free house', slid and smashed the oven door

def no ketchup art or any intentional destruction from what I remember, but i could be wrong!

These type of things happened because you had half of school/6th form etc. Almost like American Pie sized parties. I can remember one person killing a kettle because he tried to cook a boil in the bag curry in it and just kept boiling the water over and over till it had enough. It was still frozen in the middle but he cleaned it off regardless.

Why would anyone "man a table" to serve drinks anyway.

Middle Class mansions with guests. Normal folk is a 24 crate of beer, a bottle of Russian vodka and some salt and lemons to wash it down

 

[chroniclard]

Surely most middle class just hire someone to man a table. Sounds like working class peasants to me.

They can't afford them.

They spend all their money on mansions and drink.

OP is a pussy - meow meow - and should throw their own spirits party.

 

[A2Z]

Beer/Wine/Champagne are probably the worst 3 drink choices possible

If I want to a party and there were no spirits I would be walking straight out (to the shop to buy some).

Glad you managed to persuade them to have spirits too.

Is this the kind of song you play at your party @Guest2 ?

 

[D.P.]

i was going to say it would be expexted to offer a whisky , cognac or other such digestive after dinner, then ypu mentioned mixers and I immediately jumped on your parents side.
