The reason MixYour Drink.com came into being, was to give people an avenue to find some fantastic cocktail recipes, advice and tips on their favourite beers and spirits. We set out to give people an online portal to help them when it came to the what, when why and how of drinks. A question we were asked recently by some friends thinking of having a party, was should they supply drinks for a party or ask their guests to bring their own? We decided to take a look at that question:
Our immediate question back to the friends, was well what type of party, was it an engagement, weddings, birthday, general friends get together ?
There is a certain social expectation that some parties will be catered for.
Milestone Birthdays - Generally, are catered for on some level. Perhaps wine and beer would be provided to a certain amount: For an 18th or 21 st. some Spirits and beer could be supplied. There is the option to have BYO or to have a bar tab to a limit that is affordable. A lot of these options would depend on the actual location of the intended party.
A aged milestone birthday is generally catered for again with beer and spirits. Similarly an 18th or 21st birthday may also have some alcohol supplied by a set tab at the bar.
Gathering of Friends - This is where you get to pick and choose a little bit, and intimate dinner party most people will turn up with a bottle of their favourite wine for the host.

Your responsibilities at any party or dinner are to ensure that your guests are responsible with their drinking. Consider what their level of capabilities is and if any guest shows signs of perhaps being to inebriated, then perhaps then it may be time to offer a coffee as an alternative drink.
Supplying drinks for a party really is a personal choice, so never be offended when invited to a party if your are asked to bring your own. Whatever the occasion, having a few drinks with good friends can be a most enjoyable event.
