[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me the concern is not the kids sneaking alcohol, it is that the guest of honor will not be enjoying it.  If my grad was a vegetarian I would not plan a burger party.  If he has a dairy allergy I would not serve ice cream.  He does not drink alcohol so we will have his favorites..root beer or Orange Soda or water![/quote]

its not an alcohol themed party. it is a graduation party at which there is alcohol. If you serve pigs in blankets it doesn't make it a pig in blanket party. If my kid was a vegetarian I would also serve meat because some of the guests might enjoy it, much like they might enjoy a glass of wine. [/quote]

Never said it was an alcohol party, just not something the guest of honor would enjoy.  If my guest of honor was Kosher, I would not care if others would enjoy bacon.  They can enjoy it another time,  Alcohol is just not so important in my circle...[/quote]

DP.  So, you only serve food/drinks that your 'guest of honor' enjoys?  I'm not a vegetarian nor do I keep kosher but I make sure I have food/drinks that my guests can partake in even if my 'guest of honor' doesn't enjoy them.  I'm teaching my kids that even when they're the one being honored, they cannot be blind to the needs/wants/desires of their guests. I've got a senior who will be graduating and we will have beer/wine for the adults because that's typical for our gatherings - even kids' birthday parties.  But, you do you.  [/quote]

Apparently it is important in you circle.  You  should teach your child your family  needs alcohol at parties...[/quote]

I see, even as an adult, you have failed to learn the difference between 'want' and 'need'.  We 'want' alcohol served at our gatherings.  It is not a 'need' but I see no compelling reason to treat a HS graduation open house different than all the other celebrations we have.  If alcohol were an important part of our entertaining, I'd certainly spend more on it than I do.  There would be more of it, more variety and it would be of higher quality.  Since it's not 'important', we have mid-priced beer and mid-priced red/white wine.  [/quote]
