Water & fitness have moved in. Which is good, yeah, I suppose. I do like my rum!delagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197857250240640822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-16444778028304544972009-09-27T13:29:15.861-07:002009-09-27T13:29:15.861-07:00I had a birthday party for myself in the spring (a...I had a birthday party for myself in the spring (a no-kid party), and most people drank water. I had wine and beer, but it was a midday party, so maybe they just didn't feel like drinking before 5 p.m. Who knows? We aren't big drinkers, so it took months for us to get rid of all of it. (Didn't help that I got pregnant immediately afterward, so I couldn't drink anything.) <br /><br />At my son's birthday party in February, we had soda, juice and water, and we were left with tons of soda and juice then, too. Water, water, water -- that's all people drink here. Still, I feel pressured to offer options. Maybe I should just get sparkling water and regular water for the next big bash we have. It may be cheaper that way and we wouldn't have a cooler full of sodas that we'll never drink in our garage for months.Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-48374023296899254792009-09-27T12:54:09.985-07:002009-09-27T12:54:09.985-07:00"Does it seem like people drink a lot less al..."Does it seem like people drink a lot less alcohol than they used to at parties?"<br /><br /><br /><br />Yes. Maybe Facebook photos are the culprit? Or maybe we are getting healthier? wiser? (When I have a smaller, select group of colleagues over, there's much drinking than when I invite the masses;-)<br /><br />Glad it went well: you've inspired me to at least think about hosting a dept gathering (it's been a few years)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
