I'm a youngin, as such and I would never even consider taking it home, most the time yours is only part of what you drink and you dring only part of yours anyway.

All the parties I have been to, have been byo. And I have always left something in the fridge when I left.

Its poor form not to.

If you bring to much piss to a party, and dont drink it thats your problem. Take it home that night/morning but not a week later. Thats poor form.

Personally, after a week I think that would be a bit insulting. The host/hostess gives up their home for a party in the first place...i'm sure they never charged an entry fee to the guests, party goers use their amenities, and usually there is food around that people eat that the host/hostess paid for

Maybe if it was an unopened bottle of bourbon or something if you absolutely have too, take it home that night or next morning not a week later, as it is a bit different to the value of a few beers or softdrink

That guy sounds like he needs to learn some Kiwi party etiquette - fast - otherwise he's gunna make himself unpopular

I leave it behind unless the host insists I take it home.
Solution for you Scott...next time bring it round to our beer fridge, it will be safe there

I think that the young fella was wrong to ask for it back a week later, was it anyone I know??? If he really wanted it, he should have taken it home on the night of the party, but even that is rude, I reckon!

Yeah I agree...only if they say take your drink back home.

Surely this depends on the nature of the "party" and whether there is an expectation/onice on the application of "good manners".

Many "parties" that young folks (and I use the term advisedly) attend are nothing more than a congregation at a venue with the intention of getting liquored or laid. The "host" in such events provides nothing more than a venue, with "guests" bringing with them everything they need to get pissed/high/off, possibly with the exception of a sexual partner, whom they expect to randomly acquire (god willling) during the course of the event.

In such circumstances I see no crime in departing with the balance of any acoutrements one arrived with.

However, where a more civilised hosting arrangement applies (i.e. the host provides food and beverages, etc), one should expect any contribution one made to the event's festivities to be distributed at the host's discretion. Even in these circumstances there are "grey" areas, for example, should a host serve the beverages brought by the guests in preference to the beverages they have provided?

That's poor form. Next time your daughter throws a party, tell the tosser that there's a $20 cover charge.

**wybmadiity** · 16th May 2007, 11:35

I drink bourbon, from the bottle (not RTD's) and if I only have a couple of drinks then I take it with me. I will share it while I am there but a bottle cost $40 these days and it is just not affordable to buy a bottle for every BBQ/Party I go to. If there is fuk all left, I will leave it.

Guess I should really get back that way sometime soon....

Starts 2 hours earlier but scares the neighbors just as much.

Ahh yes the student life, been there done that, although we didnt really do the whole food thing it was more like fill up on alcohol then decide we were hungry, stumble into town and wonder why we ended up there.
