[quote=Anonymous]This thread amazes me.  It's rude to not serve guests alcohol?  Someone who doesn't serve alcohol shouldn't ever entertain at their home?  WTF?

I drink, and will happily accept a drink if offered one at a party.  I always have alcohol for guests, and I grew up in a family that did the same.  But it's never something I expect at a party or event, and I CERTAINLY wouldn't expect that a family that keeps a dry home would serve alcohol to guests.  What if the reason for keeping a dry home was that a family member was a recovering alcoholic/addict, or had been impacted by someone else's alcoholism/addiction, instead of keeping a dry home for a religious reason? Would you expect that family to serve you alcohol so you could have "every comfort" as a guest?

OP, I don't think there's any need to tell people you won't be serving alcohol, but it would be nice if you could find a way to tell guests you keep a dry home so that they won't bring a wine gift.  I'd want to know that so I didn't bring you something you couldn't enjoy![/quote]
