[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's ok to have only one alcohol choice like... I have friends over and we have wine.  But I also always have (and offer) filtered water, various seltzers, other non alcoholic choices.  I'd be annoyed if someone expected I had a bar.  I can't make you a vodka soda in a short glass three lemons, carcass out (iykyk).[/quote]

I will pick out a wine for dinner. I also often have a theme cocktail. If someone wants something else, I point them to the bar cart and let them know I have soda and tonic, and to have at it. [/quote]

Yes, this is the point… you spend time and effort planning for drinkers, but you don’t plan a mocktail or anything remotely interesting for non drinkers.  Hosting means that you think about the comfort and enjoyment of your guests.  What if you came to my house for dinner and I offered only tap water with no wine?  I bet you’d be on DCUM complaining…[/quote]

Still or sparkling water, with or without lemon, is all you need *with* a formal dinner. BEFORE the dinner, during cocktail hour, is when you would serve a “mocktail,” and other non-alcoholic bar offerings like club soda with cranberry, ginger ale, etc. [/quote]
