[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you planning to never serve alcohol in your home again? If you do want to serve beer or wine or what have you in the future, you might as well start now and start as you mean to go on. What magic day will it be when you can stand to serve it and not partake?[/quote]

I’d ignore this, OP. This is the type of response from people who take you not drinking as a time to indirectly reflect on themselves. So by trying to make you serve alcohol “for you” as in, if you are going to do it sometime - do it now. When really this is about the person thinking about being at a party with no alcohol.

I agree that too many people in our community don’t get how addictive alcohol is and if having one night is hard at a party, that is on them- not on you the host. [/quote]

…how many parties are you going to?

Seriously, DH and I rarely drink at home. As in maybe we’ll have a drink with dinner once a month. But when we get a sitter and have a rare date night out, whether it be at a restaurant or at someone’s home for a dinner party or a holiday party, yes, we’d like a drink or two. We maybe go to four parties a year, maybe. Especially after the pandemic. If I got a sitter and got dressed up and am having a very rare night out, I want to have a drink or two—it’s one thing to tell me it will be a no-alcohol party, and it’s quite another to tell me that I can bring my own wine. That’s awkward. [/quote]
