Domestic Problems Number Two

[oafc0000]

i just want to clarify again - I DO SHARE MY BOOZE. i just don't think you should expect everyone else to share if they can't afford to or don't want to. and i wouldn't help myself to anyone else's without asking and would expect people not to help themselves to mine, although i wouldn't really mind if they did as long as they don't take all of it.

Been doing the numbers and we don't think we can afford it this year With the baby only going to be just over a year I am not convinced she will really enjoy it. With it being the Olympics in 2012 I think we will aim for 2013....IF....she dosen't go and get herself prego again

Pretty gutted but we have so much on next year. Plus the wife is just coming back from maternity leave so our savings have took a battering...

well you can donate booze to the poor then. i'll remember

[swede]

aye any parties i've ever been to (apart from ones with old people), everyone just brings their own and you might share it, but you don't automatically expect everyone to share. just some people might offer.

I can't believe anyone never had a period in their life

[big joe]

I haven't been to or hosted what i would call a party since i was 21-i'm now 31. I attend regular gatherings with no more than 6 people in total and never more than 3 guests if its at mine. Can't stand the mess you see? Anyway, i would always take back any leftover beers bar one or two as a nice little gift to the host. Beer is a precious commodity if you ask me.

I can't believe anyone never had a period in their life when they were old enough to go to parties (about 14/15 plus), but too young to have enough money to buy as much booze as they want for themselves and their mates

unless they were from some priveledged background of some kind......

People in their 18-mid 20's oaf! We go to parties and bring enough, or a bit more than enough just incase, for us to drink. There normally is stuff that gets shared about, but it isn't a free for all because we don't have enough cash for it to be a free for all. And no there's no effort into having a party, you're thinking with your '30+' year old head on. Parties happen just by sending a few texts and phone calls, it's not an organised thing for younger people because we haven't got the 'ugghh need to clean this, and have this all pretty, and make sure these are out, and put this on' mentality of people like you who take middle age far far too seriously. It's not about keeping up with the Jones's either, it's about having a good time, and the best time can be had if the cost is split, and it is split if everyone brings their own. 16-25 year olds again oaf, generaly can't afford to spend £60+ on crates of beer and cider!

[oafc0000]

I'm a tight arse and i ain't scottish

I wasn't allowed to drink beer, but i still did it anyway!

I remember my mates 13th birthday was the first time i'd tried a joint, and in the same night snogged a boy for the first time, and i was drunk off like, 6 wkd haha

edit: it was only like 3 drags, and i was nearly 14

i haven't. but then again i don't have a vagina!

[saratink]

Was there no adults at this party ?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

You are off on a bit of tangent there fella... I am 30+ so responding in kind

Anyway I bring you backt to this point...

[kingjamma]

Me and my mates usually just buy enough for ourselves, sometimes a bit more just incase. Depending on how much is left is whether we leave any but usually it's pretty much all gone. It also helps that we all pretty much have the same amount each, but should anyone have any less and run out then they'll usually ask if they can have one and someone will give them one, everyone shares. Same goes if someone's got something a bit special or different and someone else would like one, they'll simply once again ask and be given one.

[oafc0000]

If i remember correctly, nope there wasn't..

[oafc0000]

How are you poor if you're skint one month?

And how wealthy should a 16-25 year old be anyway exactly?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I think the average 16-25 year old has enough for beer... If not most town centres bars would be closed overnight

[minute5072]

If I go to a party I would take enough for myself, plus a little bit extra, and normally something for the host as well. All of my friends would do this. We all bring what we want to drink so there's no need to share. If someone runs out then they'll usually ask someone if they can have a few cans. Most of my friends are students/recent graduates so thats how we roll

In terms of the original question, if someone leaves booze it is the host's. It is acceptable to take a couple of cans for the road. You can, at the host's discretion, ask for some or all of your booze to be kept for a future event.

The only time I would take booze away is if it was particularly expensive (e.g. beers from WEST, or a good bottle of vodka)
