[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has the new Surgeon General warning impacted if you'd give alcohol as a gift?

It has used to be the option to bring a bottle of wine to a party etc.

Yeah, actually I host pretty often and get so many bottles of wine which, if not served at the party, I never drink. I'm always kind of bummed out by the gift. Maybe time to switch to something else as a default hostess gift. [/quote]

When I give wine or champagne as a gift, it's a specific bottle I have chosen from a winery in Napa where I have a membership or from a shop that has unique options.  But, given the latest, I agree it may be time to rethink alcohol as a gift.

Having read DCUM for more than a decade, however, I can tell you right now that there is NO hostess gift that won't be trashed by someone on here.  They dont want food or anything sweet because it might clash with their menu.  Nobody wants flowers because it means they have to go searching for a vase mid-party.  And tea towels at tchotchkes - absolutely not, vulgar.

So what in the world do we do?[/quote]
