    What sort of communication is this?

    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!

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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:confused:

    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.

    No he bought the drink and she took what was left with her when she left I think

    I'm still not clear. Of course that would be theft. Let's see what the op says.

    Is the issue that she fished what u bought and then bought more but didn't finish the 2nd batch and you expected her to leave this is a replacement for original entertaining alcohol purchased by you?
    To me it sounds like an odd friendship if there's this dilemma after a stay.

    She used some of the bulk purchase while a guest and left with the rest after being requested not too

    I had friends over, I bought a box of the beer they drink
    later that day they bought another box, leaving most behind when they left.

    Its still in my fridge. But my understanding was they were essentially replacing the drink they had drunk earlier, which was polite, but not expected from me.

    I doubt the OP just asked her not to take the alcohol out of the blue, I am sure it came up in conversation naturally.

    The more pressing issue is why is the brother in hospital? I am imagining she stole his kidney after he asked her not to.

    OP bought a load of drink as this girl was coming over

    He doesn't drink himself but she had some and took the rest with her when she left

    OP was expecting to have enough left for future guests but now doesn't
