bbb Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I haven't drank in a long time. Whenever, I go to a party I really have no idea what kind of bottle to bring. This whole wine craze started after I cut off because I had already drank my share. Do you ever just bring a bottle of bourbon, which seems to be a hot drink now.........Or, Johnny Walker Blue, ditto. Or do you stick with wine............And, if it is wine, if you don't know what the host drinks, is there a kind that is always good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Bring the cheapest alcohol you're willing to take home and finish alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'll host a party so you can bring me a bottle of Johnny blue. Deal? I would say I guess it depends on the party your going to and how fancy upscale it is. For some parties it might be fine to bring a bottle of mid level vodka since you can mix it with so much. If you want to be different bring gin? I'm a big fan of all things whiskey and spiced rum. Or other parties a 12er of nice beer would be cool. It all depends on your friends, the party etc... But if you were even considering Johnny blue label your probably going to a nicer party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Buffalo Trace Bourbon is the perfect choice. Superb bourbon, <$40 a bottle and has the perfect name with the perfect graphic on the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Buffalo Trace Bourbon is the perfect choice. Superb bourbon, <$40 a bottle and has the perfect name with the perfect graphic on the bottle. I will second the recommendation. Choosing any of the Buffalo Trace bourbons is a solid choice. I like the E H Taylor small batch for $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, I should have stipulated. Host and my group is 50+. Their kids will be there, so 20+ers, too...........But, mainly I'm buying for the host..............He's really hooking us up with the party and tickets later that night.

Chef Jim Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I surprised the number of people suggesting hard liquor. Good Bourbon, Scotch, Cognac is something you give as a Christmas or birthday gift not something to be supposedly shared at a party. It just seems more personal and that you're paying attention to what your friends like. My suggestion is bring flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks, everybody - I took what I think was the first suggestion - Buffalo Trace Bourbon. Very appropriate. You first need to tell us what kind of party you are going to... Only then can you get a correct response. I thought I had a few posts up from this post, but this is where the party will be held: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
