To take drinks to parties, not drink it then take it home

[Iamseeingstars]

I have been to a number of house parties where people take a bottle of wine, or a couple of cans of cheap beer, but then dont drink it and drink the expensive wine or beer or spirits that the host has provided.

Then at the end of the night, they take their wine/beer back home because it hasnt been drunk.

I think this is so rude. If you are taking drinks to a party surely you should be drinking that. It just amazes me how many people seem to do this. They might turn up with two cans/bottles of beer, but drink six or eight because someone else is paying for it

AIBU

bigbadbarry did you say anything to your aunt? The rude bugger.

At our wedding we put bottles of champers out on the tables for the toasts but people just drank their wine and were seen taking the bottles home...along with the rose bushes we bought in tubs for decoration and then were going to plant in our garden!

I have also seen people bring nothing, yet sneak a bottle of champagne from the fridge on the way out. It's extraordinarily rude to take away wine that you bring, no question. Even if just a girls night in or takeaway ect.

GetOrf I was too gobsmacked. Have watched her like a hawk ever since though.

I get annoyed if I take decent brands of lager to parties, walk away and find that I'm left with the shitty value cans of shite that smell of tuna fish when you open them.

So I stash mine somewhere where I hope nobody will find it and just drink my own and leave everybody else's!

I would cry if people I knew well enough to invite to a party/wedding would thieve like that from me. The cheeky fuckers.

Christ, who needs friends and family.

Jeez, I'm 33 and have been to a fair few 'house parties' in the last year.

My group of friends, and their groups of friends, don't tend to go into town anymore as it's full of 17 year olds, vomitting in the gutter or starting a fight. So, we do an evening round at each other's houses. It's great fun - normally ends with me dancing around to House of Pain

We don't do Dinner Parties either - I'll invite my friends round for a meal, and they'll reciprocate a week or so later.

Is everyone on MN so ball-achingly Middle Class that once you're over the age of 19/20 you don't have a bit of fun?

Come on - prove me wrong, please, I implore you

Oh and I take a bottle as a contribution to the host, would never bring it back - unless they've begged me to for fear of alcoholism due to the sheer amount left over, even though every guest was very trollied my friends like a drink or 8
