What do I take to a drinks party when I don’t drink alcohol?

Should I take something alcoholic or do I maybe take a bottle of Nosecco in case they don’t have any AF options? Ive been teetotal for 6 years. Thank you.

I’d take something you drink and if you want take something for your host.

I'm AF too though only 9 months in. Personally in similar situations I'd take whatever I fancy drinking and then a bottle of something nice for the host. If you don't like giving people alcohol then I'd just take my drinks and bring some flowers or similar for host instead.

I'd definitely take something for yourself and I'd also take a nice wine for the host.

A nice selection of soft drinks to share, maybe some nuts.

Non alcoholic drink that you like?

Absolutely take something you like because they very often don't have bloody anything! I've ended up drinking kids' squash and a big deal being made of it on occasion... Something that looks like booze in a nice glass can stop people trying to push it on you too...

But yes, good advice above - something alc or non-alc treat for the host too.

Have fun!
