[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, lots of nasty folks out today. How hard is it to just be aware not all of your guests may want to drink alcohol, and have some alternative? It's just hospitality.

+1. The aggressive alcohol pushers are really pathetic.[/quote]

I agree that this is the optimal hospitality. It even has public health implications (i.e., helps people pace themselves, if they are driving). BUT, I think it is a bit over the top to act like you our stumped about how to solve the empty water glass that is sitting in front of you at dinner.

Probably if enough people asked for non-alcoholic options hosts would change their habits.  It can be hard, if you don't know your guests preferences (e.g., carbonated? diet? flavored water?) Wine is pretty straightforward: white or red.

But yes, I always make sure that I have both types of beverages in when I entertain. It is also good for your children to see that you can have fun without intoxicants, TBH.[/quote]
