Bringing drink to a friend's house

    Ok so I'm 18 and up till now it's usually been a few drinks with the girls before going out. So I always bring West Coast or something because I know the hostess and everyone likes it (because we're all girls :P ) but on Sunday we're going to one of the lads houses. He's providing drink for us but I'm still going to bring some...

    Do I bring what I like or what he likes? (He drinks cans.. I don't!)



    Yes I know I probably sound about 10 asking this..! :rolleyes:

    You're never too young to learn drinking etiquette.:)

    What's the occasion? If it's a debs/His birthday/Something where he'll be laying on a lot of drink and he's gone to a fair bit of effort then honestly i'd bring less than what you usually drink (4 if you only drink 8 etc) and just take whats offered. If he just said "we can drink in mine this weekend I've got plenty" then by all means stock up cause he probably has a lot less than he's claiming.

    If he drinks something cheapish then bringing a 6 pack for the house is never a bad idea.

    Maybe bring a bottle of wine for him and whatever you want to drink yourself.

    It's a kind of drinks before town party type thing but he (or more than likely his lovely mammy) will be buying a load of drink (as much as we want says he :P)..

    Might bring what I like and a bottle of wine for his mammy?!

    I was always taught to never show up empty handed at someones house.. as it is not his own house i'd say bring a bottle of wine/flowers/chocs for the mammy (if she is going to be there) and a couple of cans of whatever he usually drinks.

    At that age i always just brought me own beer , in fact i still do. I doubt he expects you to bring some extra for him unless he is a greedy arsehole. Its also the first time ive heard people laying on liquor for such an informal occasion, maybe an 18th or 21st but not drinking before going out

    If his mam is how i think she is (awesome) she probably said "invite your friends around i'll get the drinks in" in which case figure out a price (probably about 20-30 euro) divide that by how much cooler you can get for that and buy her that much worth of chocolates and whatever she drinks, that way no ones out of pocket, everyones happy, she's the perfect host and you're the perfect guests.

    His mum is lovely but knowing him it was probably more a ''I'm having everyone over for drinks on Sunday so we need to go and buy a tonne of drink...

    We of course meaning mammy
