[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently had to quit drinking. If I host a dinner party and serve a great spread (like I usually do) with a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, do you think guests will be put off or think I’m cheap or a bad host? The guests are heavy drinkers (drinking during daytime kid birthday parties, [b]sneaking drinks at public parks[/b], etc). When I’ve hosted in the past, I’ve always served alcohol, but can’t do that anymore. I never told them I quit.

If they brought their own, which some of them probably will, they can drink it and take it home. I don’t want to tell people to BYOB though. That sounds cheap to me.[/quote]

Please explain drinking in a public park. Do you mean like while children play for 30 to 60 min? Because I can't think of a time I'd do this. Maybe on a Saturday morning with a spiked coffee? Maybe. But I nor my husband have ever done such a thing.[/quote]

Like reserving a pavilion at a public park that does not allow alcohol so they say on invitation, cozies will be provided to cover the beer can.[/quote]
