[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]An adult party means offering alcohol.[/b]  Kind of like a child's birthday party means some sort of cake or something sweet.  I personally don't think you should be hosting a social event if you don't offer anything to drink.  A normal social event includes some sort of food, soda, water and alcohol.  Wine at the very least.  If you're so against having alcohol at your home then just meet your friends out at a restaurant.  [/quote]
This is just ridiculous. Plenty of people we know don't consume alcohol. Why would you expect everyone to drink? If you cannot entertain yourself for a few hours without alcohol then perhaps you should stay home.[/quote]
People who enjoy a glass of wine aren't incapably of entertaining themselves for a few hours. I don't understand why people who don't drink think everyone else must have an alcohol problem. It's the cultural norm here. I wouldn't expect wine at a party in the middle east, I also would expect wine at a party in the US. OP, people won't stay very long if they show up not knowing no alcohol will be served.

And by the way, have you answered whether or not other people may drink in your house? I know a lovely Hindu couple who don't drink but offer it to their guests.[/quote]
