Drinks at parties?

Question

When you're asked to bring your own bottle to a party, are you meant to share drinks with everyone else or drink your own drink?

Answer 1

Depends what you're bringing:) ... If you're bringing your own bottles of beer, then not really.  I know someone who always brought his own cans of real Coke, because that's what he liked to drink & wanted to be sure he had some ... If you're bringing a bottle of wine or liquor, then you should be expected to share - since you don't need to drink the whole bottle by yourself!

Answer 2

The idea of taking your own bottle is to increase the selection of drinks for everybody.  So drink what you like and just put yours with the other bottles - BUT - don't be mean and take a bottle of cheap plonk and then drink someone else's gin!!

Answer 3

bring a bottle of what you love, or make a recipe of sangria, or the stuff to make cosmos or coladas....booze is an expensive thing for the host to provide....so this is almost like a potluck deal...and it is fun to share your drink making expertise with friends. There are always the ones who bring c**p ,and drink everyones good stuff....so be forewarned! Bring extra of what you like if you want to avoid missing out on it.

Answer 4

Keep it for urself...i mean dey did say "bring yo own bottle" rite?...

Answer 5

What tends to happen is that all drinks supplied are put somewhere like the kitchen where everyone helps themselves.

Answer 6

To share. That way you can make lots of different kinds of mixed drinks.

You can still drink most of it if you wish, but its great to share it.

Answer 7

BYOB is intended to keep costs down for your host.  There are so many options, a host couldn't possible provide everyone's preference.  Your host should provide soft drinks, seltzer, possible iced tea.  You are bringing your OWN booze.  If you choose to share, you may - but you are not expected to.

Answer 8

Share it round, especially if it's something you don't really like. If it's your fave drink and there's nothing else there you like keep it to yourself.
