Beer Etiquette

around lunchtime on Monday, the 31st of March 2008 by Chad

You go to a friends house and you take a 12 pack of beer with you. At the end of the night you’ve only drank 8 beers and there are 4 left; do you take the remaining beers home or leave them?

Anyone have the right answer?

Its beer, that makes electricity! Good show!

Once again, the Danes are right

I’d be more pissed about the brand

Take 2, leave 2. Seems fair to me. Or, stay a little longer and drink the remaining 4. Heh.

If you only drank your own beer, and you made a reasonable effort to mark your beer as a “private stash”, and you left before things got crazy or helped clean up at the end of the night, you can take them home.

Otherwise, that’s a party tax, and stays with the owner of the party/thrower of the event/person who cleans up.

If you did not drink all 8, who would know if you took the remaining 4?
.. and if you did drink all 8, how could you recall there are 4 left?

Wow, there are so many possibly contributing factors to this scenario it is mind warping.

Let’s discuss a few:

#1

You are going to a friends house that you go to quite often and then come to your place quite often, sometimes they cook dinner and you bring booze, others times it is the reverse.

–I would leave the booze, it all works out in the end.

#2

You are going to a BBQ where they are providing the food, the grill, etc. it is BYOB and when you show up there is a big cooler or bucket that is housing everyone’s beer. When you are ready to leave, others are still there partying, leave the beer, it is the ‘non-dick’ thing to do and is a token of appreciation to the host and others for the food, etc. (this follows the party tax theory).

#3

You go to a party with a few friends, you rarely ever see the host, you get there and they are drinking wine. take the beer with you, this wine drinking panzy is just gonna throw it out.

#4

You go to a party, you are single, there is a fairly attractive girl there, she likes the beer you have brought. You offer he one or two, then you exit early under the cloak of “yep, we start pretty early at the FBI with these sting operations. I can’t drink to much and I need to get to bed early tonight, being a sniper, I hold a lot of peoples lives right in the palm of my hands.”

You leave the remaining beers for her, along with instructions for the host to arrange another party where she is invited, and leave with a “since you like the beer I brought I am leaving it here, great to meet you, enjoy”.

Next time you talk to her, you use the “well, you DO owe me four beers ya know…how about dinner.”

Possibilities = endless.
