shhheeeiit, I never complain to more beer at the party.
plus its less the "douche" will drink of the provided beer.
some of you are so short sighted
I think it depends on the type of party, to be honest. A cocktail get together at someone's house, where, even if they're providing, people typically bring something, it would be OK. It would be odd at a fully catered affair.

As other's have said, if it's just a get together and not a formal party, we usually just all bring something.
We are all middle aged and make good money, but we have one couple that has 20 to 25 people at a time over at least monthly, so we aren't expecting them to provide beer, wine, and bourbon for everyone. We don't drink cheap shite so it's fine.

No I don't. Takes some of the responsibly off of the homeowner in case of an accident.

he problem is that its a slippery slope. what type of beer do you provide? Do you offer gluten free beer? What about wine? Red? White? Rose? Champagne? Do you make punch? Do you have liquor? What about mixers?
Being a host is not an obligation to provide something for every contingency. They should provide something though, and communicate it.
Also, I have been to a party where someone didn't show up with beer. I typically don't provide beer at my party b.c I know my friends will show up with it.
Agree with this. My wife and I host a couple of parties a year at the house. We always provide lots of food choices and a few bar items like maybe a bottle of vodka, a bottle of whiskey and some soda and other mix-ins. We make it clear that if that doesn't work for the guests they are welcome to bring their own beers or booze.
We offer a congregation place with ample seating, some music, maybe a fire if it's cold and a variety of snacks and a limited selection of booze.
If that isn't enough, frick em' -- they can go to another party.

Is having a party "BYOB" somewhat rude?
Do you believe that if you reach a certain age that having people bring their own booze seems a bit shabby?
Posted on 12/19/16 at 4:11 pm to ellishughtiger
It is not at all rude. Especially now a days with all that designer beer and hard stuff. I always tell friends bring ya own if ya drink that poodly stuff I suply beer wine and wisky if ya want special bring it. For big gatherings I also tell em bring ya own chair. I aint got enough folding and yard chairs for a big party

I offer standard alcohol when having a party. Vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, scotch, red & white wine etc. I also provide a few types of beer like Abita Amber, Newcastle, Heineken etc Most of that covers my friends. If they want some special craft brew, they know to bring it themselves.
I usually have a pretty good idea of what everyone drinks though.

I agree about wine or some dish or something, but if you showed up to a catered event with an ice chest full of Miller Lite, you might catch a few funny looks.

If you are throwing a party then yes, you should supply the booze. If you are just have 6 friends/wags over then usually people will bring some of their own alcohol but you should have enough in stock to offer or if they run out.
I think it's pretty dickish to say "Hey. I really want to socialize with my friends this weekend but I'll be goddamned if you're dtinking my alcohol!" Hell, poor arse college kids throw keggers for all and any but you won't supply alcohol to your friends even though you have a job and your own roof over your head?

, a bring your own chair party - of which I've hosted a few - is understood to also be a BYOB party as well. Posted on 12/19/16 at 4:28 pm to Tarik One

it is pretty trashy to show up at someones house without beer....if you plan on drinking all of their beer.
Posted on 12/19/16 at 4:32 pm to Tarik One
We had one this past weekend for about thirty folks. I supplied 15 reds, 5 whites/rose, 4 champagnes, and 24 beers. I told people to bring their own hard liquor if they wanted it.
ETA: Most people either brought a bottle of booze, a candle, flowers, or some type of food as a gift.

I'll say this. No matter if it's a byob or not, I'm downing a few drinks at my house beforehand then I'll take a triple for the ride over plus I'll bring some of my own. Which I won't hoard for myself. If someone wants a drink then feel free. Eat, Drink and be Merry.

I usta hold family reunions now the younger do it. I would buy 10 cases of bud 10 cases of miller 10 cases of coke 10 cases of 7-up and a few gallons of whisky, I'd say bring ya own chairs we had epic parties and every one know if ya wanted fancy bring ya own. Many times some one passed the hat on Sunday(week end party) for a beer run. Great memories. Now the younger gen throws the party and I bring what I can afford.
