[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

No, it doesn't. Ditto for the kids and the sweets. You have a very narrow-minded view of how things should be.

Yes, actually it does. The cultural norm in America, like it or not, is to serve cake at a child's party and alcohol at an evening party. It's polite to let guests know in advance if this is a dry party since most people will bring wine. Save your guests the embarrassment, OP, and let them know. [/quote]

Have you been on the health and wellness thread where 90% of the people say they hardly ever drink?

It's rude if you don't serve something to drink, it just doesn't have to be alcohol. [/quote]
Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that OP was only inviting people who self selectively post all the time on the health and wellness thread here.[/quote]
