Alcohol for a guest

holyhead

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.

I don't drink and there was alternative drink bought while she was here

I bought it, dont drink myself but expected any leftover bottles to be available for next entertaining occasion.

What is it? Half a bottle of wine or something? I'd not be losing any sleep tbh.

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?

4 bottles

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.

It'd be a brave woman that would take my wine. That's a bit mad lol

She wasn't drunk and there was 4 unopened bottles taken

She stole bottles of wine off you??

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.

Humour Me

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

TG1

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

monkeysnapper

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.

ejabrod

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

Very saucy of her.

Fcuk that....no one thinks like that


I don't drink wine...but id be annoyed as fcuk if I was you

pickarooney

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.

TG1

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!

Colser

Is there more to this story OP? Cant imagine anyone taking someone elses drink home with them...Why did she leave early?

Usually people leaving drink behind is more of a burden that a bonus

Apparently her brother is in hospital

I don't know I've had a few epic "drink whatever's been in the press more than a year" nights...
I was reared on the give a thing take it back poem though so I'd fear someone pulling a string if I took wine with me leaving someone's house!
I would never take wine they had bought in though, ever! That amounts to stealing it.

I'm guessing shortened booty call myself from the OP's initial description

You have to let your hatred of Trish go. It probably wasn't her at all.

Confusing stuff. Taking it with her is odd, but someone saying to me as a guest "don't take the wine with you when you leave" would be equally strange

maybe she took it because she felt offended?

I'm taking about half open bottles, 2/3 full cans, 1/5 vodka, etc. Just left. Wasted.

Hmm fishy... I've never had a guest that I've had to ask not to take alcohol with them. Is this something that you ask all your guests??

No, the OP bought it and his "friend" brought it with her when she left early because her brother was "apparently" in hospital.

Hopefully the OP got the ride first though after all that. Netflix and chill I think is the latest term right?

Ok most people are not getting this. As far as I can see.

1) you bought alcohol.
2) she drank some but bought more alcohol.
3) she took her surplus.

Don't see an issue if that's the case.

I don't read it that way. If she took alcohol she didn't buy in the house there would hardly be a reason to ask on boards.
