[quote=Anonymous]I would not care at all if a non-drinking household didn’t offer me alcohol and I’m surprised to hear there are people who would be upset by this. You need alcohol at literally every dinner you have? I think a non awkward way for the host to handle would be to ask guests if they have any allergies or dietary restrictions. After the guests respond to that, I’d politely let them know your dietary restriction (no alcohol) just so you avoid wrong expectations or someone buying you a bottle of wine and feeling guilty/awkward afterwards.

As for the OP’s original question. I am fine to meet people out at a restaurant OR go to their home. I don’t particularly love hosting meals at my home because I find it stressful guessing what other people actually like, and the pickiest people tend to be the least communicative of their needs and the most pouty/unappreciative of my efforts to try to make a nice meal with options for them. My own family literally eats anything and everything so we are flexible to eat whatever wherever. The only thing that that is problematic for us is if there’s not enough food. Like a mom who ordered one pizza for 5 tween boys. Not enough. [/quote]
