[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a real eye opener.  It never occurred to me that so many people feel imposed upon and deprived eating a single dinner without alcohol.

DH and I have plenty of beer, wine, and liquor in our home and guests are always welcome to it. The wine is opened routinely without even asking guests. We both usually accept at least one drink when offered at someone's home. But we really couldn't care less if someone serves alcohol or not at their house and we have enjoyed many excellent meals with excellent company without alcohol. [/quote]

Is that really your takeaway? I was one of those who said I would be surprised and a little disappointed because I consider a dinner party with friends or family to be a special occasion at which alcohol would be served. I don't drink much anymore at all, but enjoy a glass with a special meal or at a party. Especially if it was hosted by someone who previously hosted and served alcohol.

It's NOT a big deal not to drink, but guests should get a heads up that the meal will be dry this time.[/quote]
