The Booze Thread

I'd pay the kid $75, set aside another $25 for a tip if he's good, give him (and stick to) set hours (from say 6 to 10) and I'd tell my guests to keep their money in their pockets, the party is on me.

But see, I'm classy like that.  When I host a party, you don't have to bring money.

I'm with Dio. Seriously, we're dating.

But seriously, I like Dio's method of payment, otherwise, you're one step above a BYOB. I do like the idea of plucking a student from a school for practice.

[Zanshin]

Haha, I'd never let anyone pay money at a party at my house.

Though it's also entirely possible that I'd do beer, wine, sangria, margaritas, shots, simple mixes, and call it a day, depending on who I dig up who wants to work the bar.

This isnt a bad idea either but I don't think it matters if it's a private party or not.  If a bartender pours me a drink, I'm going to tip him whether I paid for the drink or not. I'm looking as gthistles party as being no different than say a wedding reception. As a guest, I didn't pay for dinner or my drinks but I'm still tipping the help.  I don't look at that as an "expense" on my part, just complimenting the person on their service. If gthistle wants to tip the guy as well, that's fine but drinkers should always tip their bartender.

how about just set a up a wet bar and let the adults make their own cocktails like every other grown up house party ever held...this isnt a wedding at a country club spalding

Probably because it's a more "formal" party. Doesn't sound like coat and tie formal, but definitely not your typical house party.

I, for one, am anxiously awaiting an invite via Facebook.

[Zanshin]

Also possible. But I'm trying to get away from the "every other grown up house party ever held" spalding.

The music will be the cool thing, I think...drinks of any kind will go well.

Right. Hey, if you weren't in CA, it would be a possibility. You could bring my wife an envelope of money and shave pubes for her birthday. That's what I'm getting her.

[Sgt PSN]

IN!

[Zanshin]

Shhh...most people on here probably think my wife is a troll. Don't ruin it for them.

[Diomedes]

thanks to the magic of facebook, we know she's hot as balls, and I for one can't wait to attend your classy swinger party

[Zanshin]

That's the first thing my buddy said-- "where's the bowl where we put the keys?"

I thought about the people who would be invited and realized that it would bad bet for me. No bowl.

[Sgt PSN]

OUT!

[Diomedes]

Given the amount of booze you'll be pouring out for your guests, you might want to collect keys for other reasons entirely.
