    A "friend" came to stay with me for a few days. Bought in alcohol for while she was here. She left early had to get back home, a friend picked her up but took the wine with her after she was asked not to as I had other friends coming over next week. Is it hers to take away or should she have left it.

    If you bought it she should have left it. If she bought it as a gift, then she was rude.

    Is it not her alcohol? You should be the one supplying for your other friends if you Want them to have alcohol,or ask them to bring their own.

    Did she give it to you as a gift? When you say she left early, did she not wind up staying with you after all?

    When she was specifically asked not to take it and still did take it then she is out of order.
    Hopefully she binges on it and pukes her ring up.
    Tramp!

    Then she should have left it. But was it half open or was she drunkish when leaving?

    She brought her own booze and you want to give her booze to others. Give the alternative drink to the guests arriving next week, or get them to buy their own

    Edit....
    You could have said that you bought it before. The cheek of her taking someone else's booze.

    I think she thinks because they were bought in for her stay there were hers to take away if leftover. I think otherwise

    Why did you find it appropriate to ask her to leave the drink there?

    She was going home and hence would no longer be my guest. I would also have other people over who do drink.

    So you bought the alcohol, she was going to be staying in your house for free, and then she left with the alcohol early?

    She should have left it and you never talk to her again.

    Edit misread the OP as she 'brought' rather than you 'bought'. Taking 4 bottles is definitely out of line

    So you paid for it, she came for a visit, cut that short and left with your booze?

    She is in the wrong here, it doesn't matter if you were pouring it down the sink it's yours to do what you want with!

    It was I who bought the alcohol in for her stay. Other alcohol was purchased by her during her stay leaving in my house an excess which she chose to take despite being asked not too when she left

    Essentially yes. No two ways around it.

    Not to insult your friend holyhead, but she sounds like a bit of a c*nt. You bought the wine, it's yours. If anyone stole my wine....I'd be a very, very angry time altering Valeyard.

    If you're friendly enough to buy drink for her and leave her stay in your house, you should be friendly enough to say in a "I'm joking but not really" kind of way
    "Yo Trish, you thieving bitch. Where's my wine?? I hope it chokes you" but put a smiley face on the end of it

    I certainly wouldn't just leave it. You bought wine and she took it.

    Contact her and demand she return bottles and just be careful who you let into ur home . doesn't sound like she has any respect for you.

    Send her an invoice for the 4 bottles to be paid within 30 days.

    So you bought wine, she bought more wine and drank that then nicked your wine, all in a shortened stay?

    I'd say she was great craic to have around, the filching wee souse.

    Even if I bring drink to someone's house if we don't finish it I leave it there... Can't believe someone would take wine you had bought!
