Wine with dinner when non-drinkers are present?
- tcamp Nov 15, 2013 07:45 AM
Spouse and I were bantering about "the rules" for serving liquor/wine when non-drinkers are in attendance. We invited a couple for a casual dinner and neither drinks - they met years ago in AA. I stated that since it was just going to be the 4 of us adults (+ 3 teen boys), DH and I should not serve nor drink wine (no big deal). However, if there were going to be more guests, say another couple, and they imbibed, then alcohol would be OK. The AA guests have not asked for a ban and they regularly attend events where wine is served.
Your thoughts?
I think it is nice that you are willing to forgo serving wine but I have to say that I would not abstain if I felt like drinking wine with dinner.
My feeling is that at my house I will serve what I want and guests can partake or not. I always have non alcoholic options available. Now if I am a guest in someone else's home and they do not serve alcohol, I am fine with that. It's their home and I would certainly respect their wishes.
re: baseballfan
That was my DH's POV.
re: baseballfan
I'd ask them first whether they were comfortable with other people drinking. If they say they are, I'd just behave as normal. And make sure there is whatever they like to drink. I'm thinking of an abstinent friend - I actually buy Coca Cola for him, and I'd never touch the stuff - what he hasn't finished is poured down the drain after guests have left.
One obviously has to either respect another person's house rules, whether they are due to health or religious issues, or decline the invitation. It is their house.
I agree with you. My brother-in-law and his wife also met at AA; when it's just us for dinner, we don't serve alcohol (although they wouldn't object if we decided to drink, it's no problem not to). If there's a crowd, we do, but always make sure that they have something festive and non-alcoholic to drink.
I think that's very nice, tcamp.
My uncle is an "AA guest" at our family parties and dinners. He brings a bottle of sparkling juice so he can participate in toasts. Bonus points, he can share with the kids! He's a very good sport about it, and would never expect the party to be without alcohol just for him.
Fair enough... I don't have alcohol in the house because it's going on twenty years since DH kicked the bottle, and I don't particularly care either way. If I'm out and there's the opportunity to imbibe, he encourages me to enjoy myself but I don't have any at home. Why make his life any harder than it needs to be? If I was hosting somebody who wasn't drinking, I wouldn't offer them alcohol any more than I'd shove a layer cake under the nose of a diabetic. We don't actively avoid alcohol while we're out, we just don't drink it...
re: Kajikit
I agree.
I've never understood, or respected, the person who knows a person has an addiction to something and then, in this case, drinks in front of them.
It's so damn disrespectful and, frankly, mean.
re: latindancer
Huh? I said I DON'T drink... if we go to a party where wine is available I'll have a glass, but that's it. I've never been much of a drinker to begin with. I don't even cook with the stuff because I don't want to have it in the house.
re: Kajikit
I think latindancer was agreeing with you.
re: Kajikit
I was agreeing with you.
It totally depends on where the person is in their recovery.
One month in? No way. No alcohol anywhere and absolutely nobody should be drinking in front of them.
Yes, as another mentioned, it's the addict's responsibility, no anyone else's.
However, friends and family, if they're truly supporting the addict's sobriety shouldn't be drinking in front of a newly sober person.
re: latindancer
Really the onus is on the addict to excuse him or herself from any activity/situation/surroundings which make him or her uncomfortable.
I might be more likely to relapse after 10 years of sobriety than after 10 days. It all depends on the individual and "where they are"...so to speak.
re: Frosty Melon
Of course.
Having said that, I'm never, ever inclined to have alcohol around anyone who's been sober for a month and is working hard on their sobriety and recovery.
It's disrespectful.
I do, however, know people who'll do it and ask 'this doesn't bother you does it?'
They don't understand addiction or couldn't care less.
re: latindancer
re: Frosty Melon
I understand, completely.
I appreciate your candor.
I tend to be very enamored with people who are recovering from anything…
I completely respect them, am honest with them and find their character, strength, bravery and integrity unmatched.
'Enlightened' comes to mind.
re: latindancer
Not all of us who have chosen to stop drinking regard our past condition as an illness from which we are "recovering". I understand that some folk are content to describe themselves as such, but I'm not one of them. Just saying.
re: Harters
I've never implied, and will never, describe an addiction as an 'illness'.
It's not.
Not sure where you read that I did.
re: latindancer
The debate rages on about whether or not addiction is an illness. Personally I'm not sure it really matters unless you're filing an insurance claim. But Harters just used the word as describing something from which one "recovers". I suppose you can, potentially, "recover" from anything that is debilitating.
re: Midlife
<The debate rages about whether or not addiction is an illness>
Oh, hell, I couldn't care less.
When a person gets to the point they want their life to change , without the addiction controlling their life, and they stop using whatever it is…
They have my utmost respect and admiration. I'm in awe. Genetic predisposition, difficulty coping, etc., whatever it is…
Who really cares? The term 'recovery' has been used in the 12 step approach which, for many, has been life-saving. I've never heard the term 'illness' to describe anything.
re: latindancer
I can easily see how 12 step programs would avoid a term that could help people deflect the importance of their own responsibility and potential to effect the successful outcome.
re: latindancer
I read in your earlier post that you are enamoured with people "recovering". As you'll know, in this context, the phrase is usually "recovering alcoholic". I have never felt that I am recovering from drink problems.
Still, let us move on from this apsect of the conversation. It is mutually fruitless to continue.
re: Harters
I know people who've stopped drinking for various reasons, other than they're alcoholics: They can't afford the calories. They can't afford the price. They make an ass of themselves after one drink. They want to set a good example for their kids. I'm sure there are more. I doubt that any of these folks expect others to abstain in their presence.
re: pikawicca
A few other reasons why people give up drinking:
- Alcohol aggravates a tendency for migraine headaches.
- They are taking medication that should not be mixed with alcohol.
- They are pregnant (and may not yet be showing or interested in explaining why they are not drinking).
re: monavano
That's me. I can't drink wine within the three hours before I go to bed, or I will awaken about 4 hours after going to sleep and not get back to sleep. This started in midlife, and it's actually a fairly common reaction to wine. (Certain distilled spirits don't have this effect that wine - red or white - does.) So I will typically avoid wine with dinner.
re: Harters
Yes, lots of people stop drinking alcohol or caffeine, eating sweets etc for completely unrelated reasons. Not all were addicts.
re: latindancer
Oh, okay... I misread you. I thought you were criticising me for drinking in front of my DH when we were out... forget I said anything. :) Actually the one time we went for a special dinner in a restaurant and he encouraged me to order a glass of wine, later on he said that he'd smelt it the whole night and found the smell a lot more unpleasant than he'd expected, so I'd never do it to him again... I wait for a party where everyone else is drinking and I can enjoy a glass or two a bit further away from him.
I think you should be honest and ask the non-drinking friends about the circumstances. They'll appreciate your honesty and your respect of their addiction.
If they're well along into their recovery then, most likely, they're not going to have a problem with alcohol being around.
Being they're a couple, are AA members and they're a support for each other in venues like you're describing it'll, most likely, be no problem.
We have this issue but it isn't because of AA but my in-laws are morally (religiously) opposed to alcohol. We did end up having alcohol at our wedding last month.
Last year at Thanksgiving before we were married, I did not serve while they were in the house. Before and after they left it was a free for all.
This year, we have some non-family guests as well and we feel that since more than half the guests would expect to drink (4 are against and 2-3 are underaged) we would like to at least serve wine with dinner. I am contemplating setting the table with wine glasses only in certain spots but I think it may be easier with so many preference to have drinks in the kitchen and folks can bring what they want to the table, besides water. We have gone back and forth. I think it bothers me a lot more than it bothers my husband.
re: Madrid
Interesting idea. Typically the only other drink offered during a meal in their family is water and I have fancy water glasses I plan on using.
re: melpy
Love what others have said, everyone gets wine glasses and serves their own beverages. Keep water glasses for everyone on the table.
Mixing together a pretty and festive non alchoholic drink (sparkling water with a splash of cranberry juice and floating slices of lemon and lime, or sparkling water with fresh cucumber slices and lemon) would be a special touch
re: Ttrockwood
I recently spent a week in the Caribbean, and had several "mocktails" that tasted like cocktails to me. Lots of tropical fruit juices and cane syrup.
re: pikawicca
One of my favorite NYTimes articles was geared towards mocktails a few years ago. I've tried every one and they were all terrific. I drink alcohol but I def. enjoy a well made mocktail.
includes the recipe for each drink.
re: girloftheworld
Any particular favorite you can share. I'd love a new one for Thanksgiving.
re: HillJ
Mayflower Tea
• 1 lime cut into zest strips with a vegetable peeler
•1/2 cup fresh lime juice
•3/4 cup sugar
•1/4 cup cold water
•1/2 cup packed fresh tarragon leaves only
•4 Earl Grey tea bags
•8 cups boiling-hot water
trim any white from lime. Bring lime, juice, sugar, and cold water to a boil, stirring, then let stand, uncovered untill cool to make syrup,
Discard lime. Blend syrup with tarragon in a blender 30 seconds. Strain through a sieve lined with a wet cheese cloth into a glass bowl and cool completely.
Pour boiling-hot water over tea in a heatproof pitcher and let steep 6 minutes, then throwaway tea bags. Cool tea completely.Stir syrup into tea and chill at least 1 hour and up to 6 (cover tightly). Serve over crushed ice garnish with fresh lime swrils
re: girloftheworld
I'm writing that one down! Sometimes I have difficulty finding fresh tarragon but what an interesting use for them, thanks!
re: Madrid
This is what we do, and it works very well. The teens and non-drinkers just put juice, soda, or fizzy water in their wine glasses, and the drinkers put wine in theirs. At a more formal dinner, we'll also have water goblets. My family did it this way when I was a child and I've continued the practice in my own home because it seems like a good way not to single anyone out or make what's in the glass an issue.
re: Isolda
When my middle child (now an adult) was a young and we used all the same glassware during a party he mistook his Dad's scotch for iced tea and after taking a big gulp before anyone could stop him we heard a very loud gurgle coming from the kitchen.....he never slept so soundly...but he continues to share the story about the day his Dad tried to get him hammered.
re: melpy
We are now down to 10 people from 16 (why I bothered to order the turkey already I don't know, lots of leftovers will be going home with others).
Of the the 10 that are left only 4 drink and those will be the ones living/sleeping over. Dinner is at 12 (not my idea) and folks don't usually show up too early. I'm thinking bloody marys for the AM while we are cooking and then wine in the afternoon after they leave. No alcohol at dinner.
re: melpy
No, I wouldn't put up with that religious stuff in my own home. That is very different from someone in recovery. Obviously, if I'm visiting observant Muslim friends, I wouldn't bring or expect wine, but if people are invited to dinner, they have to put up with my house rules - I'll be sure to have pleasant beverage alternatives - I always do, anyway - and not put any wine in dishes served.
Nobody on earth is going to make me observe their religious strictures.
I don't drink. My partner does. She usually has an aperitif before dinner and wine with. We both accept each others decisions in these matters.
We regularly dine out with another couple. Again, one drinks and the other doesnt. The two who drink have their beer and wine and the other two have water or some other soft drink.
I would regard it as completely outrageous if I was to invite someone to my home and they were to insist that I not serve alcohol. It is their decision (and mine) not to drink. No-one else is responsible for that. If it was to bother the guest that alcohol was being served, they have the option to decline the invitation.
If they are in AA they are not hiding the alcohol issue. They live in the real world and there is temptation everywhere.
If you are close enough to them to have them for dinner just ask if they would be uncomfortable.
I always have a couple of bottles of sparkling apple cider for festive occasions.
re: Motosport
Right, it is no secret. For clarification, I am 99.999% sure my guests would say "no problem, you go ahead" as we've been at many events together where many people, including me, have had wine glasses in hand.
re: tcamp
When I first stopped drinking (14 years back), it was difficult. There were places, like bars, that I avoided. It just didnt feel right to be in a bar and not be having a beer. Now I will happily go into a bar and order a soft drink - it's not as much fun of course, so rarely do it. But I have never for one moment thought that my partner should also stop, or that we should stop having alcohol in the house to offer to guests. This is my issue, not anyone else's. I can choose to drink or choose not to drink. No-one else is responsible.
re: Motosport
Isn't there a bit of alcohol in sparkling cider? Usually about as much as in beer?
re: lagatta
That's hard cider.
re: lagatta
You're probably right. The sparkly stuff here is apple juice, whether they call it cider or not; I shouldn't have jumped in because I have only had it rarely. The only brands I've had are Martinelli and Welchs and they sell them in the supermarket, so definitely no alcohol involved.
re: lagatta
Same in the UK, lagatta. Cider is alcohol, otherwise it's apple juice. And we can get sparkling cider (often French, but we make some here)
re: Harters
Fresh cider from the farm stand is big this time of year around here. No alcohol, but I hear if you let it sit long enough, it may ferment and surprise you!
re: lagatta
No, it's basically carbonated apple juice.
I visit people's homes, as well as various events, at which alcohol is not served. Now, even though I prefer to drink before, during and after most meals, I am not offended by their choice. I am polite and respectful of their decision not to imbibe. Also, I pack a flask.
About half of my friends don't drink for various reasons. When I have an informal party I stock the fridge with beer, wine, sodas, juices, and fizzy water and let people chose what they want. If I'm having a more formal and festive dinner and plan to bring out the sparkling wines and the good wines, I'll get some fancy designer waters or more exotic juices for those who don't drink alcohol (or those who do, for that matter) to make it feel more like a special occasion.
re: tardigrade
That sounds like the perfect solution, tardigrade. Sometimes I wish more people in my family didn't drink - nearly all of them are big drinkers (as in, cocktails before dinner, wine with, and cordials or port after) and hosting them gets expensive! However for those who don't drink, I always provide a selection of beverages to choose from - although in candor, my non-drinkers usually just choose ice water, occasionally a soft drink.
re: MrsPatmore
This is tough for us because I don't drink any "soft" drinks besides water, skim milk, tea, coffee and seltzer or sparkling water (unflavored). I do not like to keep soda in the house and use juices sparingly in cooking. For casual things it is hard to get other things not knowing what people will want and then I am stuck with them.
Maybe I should ask people to bring what they want to drink?
re: melpy
Melpy, that's another great idea! We don't drink soft drinks either, but since they last forever unopened, we just get an assortment of small bottles for the party. Also, I'm not usually a fan of fruit punch (i.e., punch bowl type drinks) but this summer I made a Martha Stewart punch for a funeral reception, and I have to say it was fabulous. It changed my view of non-alcoholic fruit punch. I'd be glad to find the recipe if that appeals to you!
re: latindancer
Stopped drinking the 'hard stuff' years ago. Even had a 'still' at one point. Very fortunately never had a problem quitting booze or dope or tobacco. Of which in my early twenties pretty much defined who I was.
I feel very sorry for anyone with a serious drinking/drug problem.......especially those who are basically 'dry drunks' who must 'pretend' to have their addiction under control. They don't and never will. Their day to day life is miserable anyway. Let them live their own lives the way they want to IMO.
Just don't try to steal my BBQ to buy your addiction of choice or I'll cut your nuts off! Otherwise fill your boots.
re: melpy
I hate it when we go somewhere and all they have to offer is diet coke or tap water. Ugh... I don't make a fuss, but I've very rarely tasted a drinkable diet soda, and in fact I prefer not to have soda at all. And I HATE iced tea even more than soda, but I know most Americans take it for granted. Most of the time I just drink water... but it's nice to have something fancier at a celebration. I try to offer diet and regular soda, homemade iced tea and/or lemonade, and filtered water. If I'm lashing out and doing something fancy, something like vitamin water is a really nice, if rather spendy, alternative.
I liked your approach, and also like that you are doing it on your own and not because your guests are forcing the issue. Pleasantly accommodating hosts and pleasantly accommodated guests make for nice dinner parties.
It would feel odd to me, at an event with only 2 guests, to serve anything that one of the guests couldn't consume, whether that was alcohol, gluten, tomatoes, mushrooms, dairy, eggs or whatever. For such a small group, I would try to choose things that everyone would partake in, and I don't feel that alcohol is absolutely necessary to complete a dinner such that I couldn't possibly forgo it.
A group of 6 would be on the borderline for me. I might offer a single low key alcoholic option -- a bottle of cider or wine -- amidst a larger selection on non-alcoholic options, but I might go with a fancy non-alcoholic punch instead, still thinking that with such a small group, why not make sure everything on offer was accessible to everyone?
Much bigger of a group than that and unless I knew that the AA guests had a huge problem with it, I would offer an assortment of beverage options, including whatever kinds of alcohol I would normally include for a group.
re: Jacquilynne
I think we are lucky to have our two good friends that we dine with regularly. The husband drinks rum and must eat gluten free. The wife drinks margaritas and loves sweets. My husband and I don't drink at all for health reasons (diabetes2, liver disease), though we have no objection to it. We eat anything and everything.
The upshot of all this is that I make most of the meal gluten free, but if I want to make non gluten free snacks or desserts, I do that, too. They drink, he eats what he can, we eat whatever...everyone's happy.
They know we particularly like seltzer water, so they got themselves a SodaStream, and stock the bottles in the fridge before we come over. They keep some flavored canned seltzers, too. When the party gets bigger, we still don't care if they drink. If anyone is uncomfortable about that, it's not us.
I get the impression on these threads on CH that some imbibers believe that we wish we could drink, too, and they feel uncomfortable drinking in front of us. Think of it this way: if you were eating a pickle, and I didn't want to eat a pickle, would you feel guilty eating your pickle in front of me (unless I were in 'pickle recovery')? No, you'd just eat the damn pickle and not give it another thought. That's as it should be.
if it is just going to be the two Hosts drinking I would probally call "bad form" on serving.
My dad often attends where things are served. We even serve it our home when it is a large gathering because he has live in the real world. However, in this case you are the ones in control of your guests comfort and there really isnt any need to add even a modicum of it if it is in your power.
serve a nice herbal ice tea, or sparkling water
rule of thumb If the majority is not drinking that is what you serve....
Even if they say it doesnt bother them... It is up to as the host to not have the question even come up...
My dad knows certain situations it will. It goes with the territory.... an intimate dinner shouldnt be one.
It depends on the reason for the guests' non-drinking.
For dinner guests who are former alcoholics, I ask them honestly before the dinner, if it is ok to drink in front of them, without serving them.
Most were ok. One friend said he was not sure. I decided not to drink, just to keep him company and to express "solidarity".
I don't have such consideration for those who abstain for religious reasons.
What's the difference ? Throw me to the wolves: It's my personal prejudice. I respect those who try to overcome a big addiction.
re: Parigi
How do you figure out why people don't drink? It's probably easy with family but how does it come up with new friends or with coworkers?
re: Hobbert
I find that most people are fairly open about why they *don't* do things.
While I pretty much feel the same as Parigi, in the end it's none of my business why they choose not to drink, just like people choose not to eat bacon because they think they shouldn't for health or religious reasons.
re: linguafood
I reckon you may be right, lingua. If the subject actually crops up (which is rare), I'm usually content to tell folk why I stopped drinking. From time to time over the years, there's been people who ask in the "wrong" way - I get a sense that they hint that I am not "normal". They get nothing from me.
re: Harters
People are strange. I'm not sure it would occur to me, after having been told someone doesn't drink, to ask "why?"
a) I don't care.
b) It's none of my business, as long as they care just as little that I drink.
c) "I don't like booze" seems like a pretty reasonable answer to the question, whether it's the truth or not. Anyone who keeps digging after that comment is just being a dick.
re: linguafood
Why there's any fixation or morbid curiosity as to what someone drinks or doesn't drink is just odd.
I particularly like c)
Good post.
re: linguafood
Personally, I find it odd when people ask me why I don't drink. It's usually a preface to trying to convince me to "just have one drink" (ugh)... But again, I personally don't care if others drink in front of me- I just don't want to feel awkward having to ask for water.
re: Hobbert
My old friends who used to pressure us often TO drink. Have now decided that they don't drink. It make things difficult because we drink a little more than we used to and they drink none. As couples we have little in common but the ladies are best friends from middle school. They have also recently gone vegetarian which took away another thing we had in common which was cooking. We used to have them over to eat often and now not so much because it was typically spur of the moment and I don't do strictly veg. spur of the moment so much any more.
re: Hobbert
They are quickly becoming, movies and then talk for 30 minutes in the parking lot before we get in the car to go home friends. This way the men don't really have to speak to eachother.
re: Hobbert
<How do you figure out why people don't drink?>
What difference does it make, why people don't drink?
It's none of my business, or anyone else's for that matter.
If a person chooses not to drink, then I would never begin a discussion about it unless the person wants to discuss it, and then the discussion would be very quick, or not at all, on my part.
re: latindancer
I agree with you. I'm trying to understand Parigi's approach.
re: Hobbert
I'm understand Parigi's approach this way…
If Parigi finds someone is abstaining because of addiction (and everyone is aware of it) then he/she asks them if it's okay to drink in front of them.
That is a very logical, reasonable and compassionate approach.
A person not drinking for religious reasons is a totally different concept. In my opinion it's just not dealt with the same. The temptation isn't there.
re: latindancer
And here I thought it was Satan tempting them with booze :-D
re: latindancer
I'm generally inclined to agree with that conclusion. But I'm still confused about how the conversation regarding why someone doesn't drink goes.
I'm my experience, it's something like this:
You: Can I offer you some wine?
Me: No, thanks. I don't drink. I'm fine with water.
You: Why don't you drink?
Me: Because I'm an adult and get to do what I want...
re: Hobbert
re: latindancer
Ok, agreed. That's the part of Parigi's approach that puzzles me. *How* do you find out why people don't drink in a way that's not intrusive? My (and, I suspect, your) point is that there isn't a way to do that short of just getting to know someone and sharing personal details. Hell, my immediate family doesn't know why my husband doesn't drink. It's rude to ask!
re: latindancer
I think Miss Manners would say "give a quizzical look and a Stepford smile" to that query.
re: latindancer
re: latindancer
It can make a difference if you're cooking with alcohol, if they have a strong moral objection to it, or are new to recovery, as has been discussed. Not on your diet? Just don't like the taste? I can still put a splash of red wine in my tomato sauce without ruining it for you, and drink to my heart's content. Newly sober? Religious reasons? Best to not cook with it, and don't drink in front of them if it will make them uncomfortable.
Yes it's not my business, but as a hostess it's easier when you have as much information as possible.
re: NonnieMuss
I agree you need to know if cooking with alcohol is a non-starter for a guest, but for me, I'd leave it at that and move along smartly, not think it was any of my business to find out why.
re: NonnieMuss
re: latindancer
Oh, I would only ask if I was that kind of close to a person. New acquaintance or guest? Nope.
But yes, as a rule of thumb it's none of my business and if I have to ask myself if it's a rude question, then I generally assume it's a rude question. I am often rude and blunt by accident - but almost never intentionally :)
re: latindancer
does cooking with alcohol count? it burns off right" I always wondered that.
re: girloftheworld
I think it cooks off for the most part, but the flavor alone can be a trigger for some, so it's best left out.
re: girloftheworld
Gotw, in a way, the alcohol does burn off, but there are compounds that are left behind. Those compounds are what a person with liver ailments needs to avoid, whether they can taste them or not.
re: kitchengardengal
ahhh good to know...
pehaps when I print my menus in the future I should not only put my little wheat sheaf for Gluten my little peanut for peanuts my little pig for pork but now a little bottle for alcohol
re: girloftheworld
<my little peanut for peanuts>
That's really a very good point.
If you know someone has a peanut allergy (life threatening) we wouldn't have peanuts in the kitchen, anywhere in sight.
Why would someone cook with alcohol, knowing the person doesn't drink? It doesn't burn off, as many believe, and the taste is definitely a trigger for the alcoholic.
re: latindancer
because often you may not know everyone at a parties history. we often have 50 or 60 people in our home and some are guests of guests... quite honestly I have never thought about how often I cook with it... but it reallllly is a lot. ,beer in soups and stews..I made bread yesterday with one...There is a red and white cooking wine by the stove that I use all the time with sauces..gravy..I candied oranges in perseco ..
re: girloftheworld
<often you may not know everyone at a parties history>
I'm thinking this thread/ conversation is talking about whether or not we know about another person's decision not to drink alcohol.
Of course we're not going to leave out ingredients with 50-60 people, not knowing if anyone's abstaining.
I'm talking about a KNOWN peanut allergy, a KNOWN alcoholic, etc.
re: girloftheworld
There's an interesting thread about alcohol content in cooked foods rolling around here somewhere. I have a coworker who won't drink but will eat food cooked with wine, beer, or bourbon. But it's a no-no for those in recovery.
re: NonnieMuss
Like Carla Hall, who "eats" her alcohol.
re: girloftheworld
no, it doesn't completely burn off. that myth was tested and busted a long while ago. if you want the flavor profile of wine in cooking without the alcohol (for example, in risotto), use verjus.
re: girloftheworld
Personally, I'm happy to use alcohol in cooking - of course, everyone who chooses not to drink sets their own boundaries. For some, flavour will be an issue. Fortunately, it isn't for me - I'm also content to occasionally drink alcohol free "wine". But wouldnt want to do so regularly - I think I might find that a slippery slope (and don't want to find out that's true).
re: Parigi
I agree with Parigi. I'd always be sure to respect people's dietary preferences, whether due to allergy/illness or religion, but there is no way I'll abstain from eating or drinking anything because of another's religion in my house. It isn't a prejudice; it is a secularist principle.
I'd never serve pork to an observant Muslim or Jew (and I'd avoid it unless I knew the guest was non-observant). Idem anything with alcohol in it if there was a question of faith (or of course of any health concern). But nobody is going to impose their religious beliefs or strictures on me.
So, here's how I see it. My husband doesn't drink due to religious reasons and I very, very rarely drink since I don't care for alcohol. That said, we could care less if others drink around us. Unless they're getting drunk- then we're leaving :) However, please have something for us to drink that's not an obvious afterthought that screams that we're antisocial weirdos. Thanks!
re: Hobbert
this it why my mom puts the expensive soda and water cool "grown-up" non alcoholic drinks in a seperate ice bucket than the juice boxes and kids soft drinks.
This is such a touchy subject. I was expecting the type of discussion that the mods end up locking. Good job all! (Pats everyone on back.)
I agree with your plan - if it's just the four of you, don't serve it if you won't miss it. If there are more, have it available for those who want it. I come from a drinky family that consequently has some experience with addiction. We'd never, for example, not serve alcohol at a big family gathering, but if I just have my cousin (recovering) to dinner with me and my husband, we wouldn't drink. She's made it clear that it's part of her process - to deal with real world situations and temptations - and doesn't want anyone walking on eggshells around her. For people you don't know as well, however it can't hurt to just ask.
Just my personal choice, but I'd order something non-alcoholic. Just like when I dined out with a family who kept kosher at home (but realized the restaurant wouldn't be kosher), I elected not to order my beloved country ham. Even tho' they were willing to relax their standards a bit with the choice of restaurant, I wanted to respect their beliefs.
re: pine time
If we were going out, I wouldn't have hesitated to order a glass of wine but for some reason took a different stance when entertaining my AA friends.
I'm a non-drinker. It's not addiction, I just don't care for it. And I wouldn't give a second thought to anyone enjoying alcohol around me.
I have a good friend who's an alcoholic. I well remember the days when she was still struggling and then first getting a handle on it. There was a time when to drink around her would be cruelty. But that passed and her response became that it was in the world and she had no wish to avoid it when she was firm in her resolve not to drink. Eventuall, she and her husband kept a bar in their home for him and for company.
So, check with your friends and see how they feel about it. Or abstain yourself. I'm sure either will work.
re: rainey
I think this is critical to how to approach the situation. I rarely drink anymore more out of personal preference just because I've never really liked the taste. When hosting others I always serve wine as long as there are no other considerations, when out with others I don't mind at all if others order alcohol. The situation does get quite uncomfortable and awkward when people start inquiring "why aren't you drinking" and then try to force it on you with "oh just one, come on you know you want to how could you not drink." I think this is part of the reason I started to avoid some happy hours with colleagues because the comments were inappropriate and annoying.
re: fldhkybnva
Yup yup and yup.
I once worked at a company where, at the anniversary party, my boss tried bullying me into drinking during the toast. There were no non-alcoholic drinks provided for the toast, so she was entirely concerned with image and what the hell was the matter with me anyway (her words). I was nearly fired simply because I refused to drink alcohol (polite I was, by the way). I quit very shortly after that - that bullying was endemic of company behavior anyway.
Don't be that person.
I appreciate all of the comments. We had them over last Sunday and, as I stated in the OP, I opted not to serve alcohol. We had still and sparkling water and cranberry/seltzer cocktails beforehand.
I know they are AA as they mentioned it (they met there, years ago) in passing one time. I am sure they wouldn't have minded wine present and, in fact, we're cohosting an event in the next month where wine will be served. It just felt right, ya know?

Coming Fashion Books
August 30,2013
Financial Times Style blog reviews some up coming fashion books in Autumn's best dressed books. I highlighted the above one because the description on Amazon did it more justice (below). It features model Jenny Shimizu.
From Christian Dior to Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen, many of the greatest fashion designers of the past century have been gay. Fashion and style have played an important role within the LGBTQ community, as well, even as early as the 18th century. This provocative book looks at the history of fashion through a queer lens, examining high fashion as a site of gay cultural production and exploring the aesthetic sensibilities and unconventional dress of LGBTQ people, especially since the 1950s, to demonstrate the centrality of gay culture to the creation of modern fashion. Contributions by some of the world's most acclaimed scholars of gay history and fashion - including Christopher Breward, Shaun Cole, Vicki Karaminas, Jonathan D. Katz, Peter McNeil and Elizabeth Wilson - investigate topics such as the context in which key designers' lives and works form part of a broader "gay" history; the "archeology" of queer attire back to the homosexual underworld of 18th-century Europe; and the influence of LGBTQ subcultural styles from the trouser suits worn by Marlene Dietrich (which inspired Yves Saint Laurent's "Le Smoking") to the iconography of leather. Sumptuous illustrations include both fashion photography and archival imagery.

I made this skirt after seeing this lovely longer rendition on Pinterest. I loved the Brocade but didn't know if I could pull off the longer length for Summer so I made it into a shortened version.
The fabric is from Mood and the pattern I used was Melissa Esplin's Kate Spade inspired skirt "utorial.

Toyota showed off its new Mirai fuel cell vehicle at the Los Angeles auto show, betting on the hydrogen-powered technology as its zero emission vehicle of choice.
The market isn't ready for fuel-cell cars, but Volkswagen is. This is the hydrogen-powered Passat HyMotion.
We'd love to recommend this innovative technology, but at this early stage the Upp fuel cell charger is just too cumbersome and too expensive.
Pricing not available
Audi showed off a new development vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show, a fuel cell-battery hybrid car called the A7 h-tron.
Biotech startup Suneris has developed a plant-based polymer it says functions like "Lego building blocks for the body," drastically reducing the amount of time it takes to stop a wound from bleeding.
Toyota announced the production version of its Mirai fuel-cell car today, ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show, adding momentum to previously slow fuel-cell car development.
CNET members respond with why they think cell phone batteries are still lacking.
To stop terrorists and other criminals, cell phones should have encryption backdoors to enable US government surveillance, argues FBI Director James Comey.
Environmental organization EMA sponsors a contest to win Toyota's first production fuel-cell vehicle, at $100 per entry.
Today we wonder if it's safe or not to allow police offers to use their personal phones while on duty. We'll also discuss a study that suggests consuming news is terrible for you. But isn't that news itself? My head hurts.

( 4UMF NEWS ) Stranger Slaps Baby And Calls It The N Word:
A man has slapped a crying baby aboard a Delta Air flight from Minneapolis on Feb. 8, according to reports out this week.
The baby was reportedly crying on the Atlanta bound flight earlier this month as the flight neared its destination. However, the crying angered fellow passenger, Joe Rickey Hundley of Idaho, who screamed out what is being called a "racist epithet" at the infant and slapped the crying baby in the face.
The baby's mother, 33 year old Jessica Bennett of Minneapolis, has described the attack, saying that the hard slap caused a scratch under the baby boy's right eye.
A police report also describes that as Hundley slapped the child he shouted out, "Shut that (n-word) baby up!"
Obviously the slap failed to quieten the infant, who witnesses describe started wailing even louder after being hit across the face.
The attack sparked several concerned passengers to come over and aid the situation, and the 60 year old attacker was later arrested for his assault.
Reports have confirmed that the man also has a 2007 charge on his name for carrying a concealed weapon and for public intoxication.
However, Hundley's attorney has already spoken out and asked that people not rush to judge his client. Hundley's attorney Marcia Shein said Friday: "We think that it is important to let the case develop, and we'll see how it all comes out."
After arresting Hundley, police also found that the suspect was intoxicated.

Six clicks: Microsoft Word tricks to make you an instant expert
Summary: There's much more to Word than just pointing, clicking, typing, and spell-checking. In this gallery, I present six of my favorite hidden features to make you more productive when creating and editing Word documents.
1 of 7Image
Power tips for Microsoft Word
Most people use only a fraction of the features in Microsoft Word. That's not surprising, given the sheer breadth of capabilities that Word has.
The secret of maximum productivity with Word is learning how to shave steps off the tasks you perform everyday. In this gallery, I present a half-dozen of my favorite time-saving shortcuts, which work in Word 2010 and Word 2013.
Master Heading styles in Word documents
The built-in heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and so on) are incredibly useful, especially in longer documents such as reports. When you use headings, you can switch into Outline view (from the View tab) to see your document in the form shown here. Click the plus sign to the left of any heading to collapse it. Click and drag that plus sign (it turns to a minus sign if collapsed) to drag everything under that heading to a new place in your document.
Here are two secrets every Word user should know about headings:
- You can automatically apply the first three levels of Heading styles using keyboard shortcuts. Click anywhere in the line you want to use as a heading and press Ctrl+Alt+1 to apply the Heading 1 format. Use Ctrl+Alt+2 or Ctrl+Alt+3 for Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles.
- In Draft and Outline views, you can make the Style pane visible on the left, showing you at a glance which styles are in use for each paragraph. Normally, this pane is hidden. To turn it on, click File, Options, then click Advanced in the Word Options dialog box. Scroll down to the Display section and find the "Style area pane width" section. Enter any value greater than zero (start with 0.5") and click OK. Choose Draft or Outline from the View tab to see the newly visible pane, which you can resize with the mouse.
[Updated to fix a typo in the keyboard shortcuts.]

The Crackpot Question: Should we help them too?
During every natural disaster, there are people who refuse to evacuate. We gape at the TV and ask ourselves: "Why didn't they leave? Are they nuts? Who are these people?" I call them crackpots. Because I can. I know I should say they made bad decisions. Comedian Louis C. K. was on Saturday Night Live this weekend and said he wished he could fall in love with an old woman because at least he would know what she was thinking. Quoth Louis, "After 72, all the filters come off."
So what kind of people ignore evacuation warnings, stand with arms crossed and a flag in front of their houses as their neighbors flee, take photos of tornadoes closing in, refuse to stop mountain climbing when an avalanche is predicted and try to sail around the world in a rowboat? Heroes or crackpots?
People who tempt fate are not all alike, of course. Depending on the tragedy, many simply have no place to go and no way to get there if they do. They're stuck and they're scared and they're abandoned. In the case of a family on Staten Island, they were robbed when they evacuated during Irene; they stayed this time and two of them died in Sandy.
Others operate with irrational fears or irrational bravado, both of which can prove fatal.
So who do we help and in what order of priority? And how much should we help, and for for how long? In other words, "who deserves help the most?"
As I write this late on Sunday, November 4, the New York Marathon was cancelled, thank heavens. The thinking was that it would have been good for Manhattan's psyche, but someone finally realized it would be an embarrassment in light of conditions on Staten Island. Duh.
The way I see it, if we can send a Blackhawk helicopter, which costs about $10,000 an hour to operate, to circle for hours looking for skiers and hikers who ignore warnings, why can't we use a fleet of Blackhawk helicopters to pick up those people in Staten Island who have nowhere to go and nothing to take with them?
The larger question, and one that divides the country in this election is this: are we in fact responsible for our fellow countrymen? If so, what about the crackpots, many of whom have outed themselves on the East Coast? It's a huge moral question that affects government policy. Sure, we have no problem - well less of a problem - with aid for the working poor, the old (if they were lucky enough to hold a job when they were young), the sick (if they decide to buy insurance), etc.
What about people who are so flawed that they refuse to help themselves? People who can't kick their addictions, who can't hold a job, who can't stop killing themselves with food, who were raised by crackpot parents or criminals, who have a mental illness that makes them fear any change and any help? The people who talk to themselves on the L are the people who floated down the street in New Orleans. Are they not as entitled to help as the people who get caught in avalanches and pursue extreme sports?

Mary, GREAT question. Not sure there is a definite answer though. Of course with natural disasters, we need to take care of our fellow Americans. They don't control the weather and are victims of it. What do we do with those you described who can't help themselves with normal daily stuff? Do we institutionalize them? As cruel as it sounds, it may have prevented the massacre in Connecticut and the one in Colorado. I don't know the answer, but collectively we need to figure it out.

MOSCOW/LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Russia shrugged off Dutchlegal action over its detention and prosecution of Greenpeaceactivists for piracy on Saturday as protesters took to thestreets internationally to call for the 30 detainees to befreed.
The Netherlands launched legal proceedings against Russia onFriday, saying it had unlawfully detained activists and otherson the Dutch-registered ship last month as it protested againstdrilling in the Arctic.
Two Dutch citizens were among 30 people on board the ArcticSunrise, which was seized by Russian authorities near thePrirazlomnaya offshore oil platform.
Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Meshkov told state-run newsagency RIA Novosti that Russia had repeatedly asked theNetherlands to halt what Russia said was "illegal activity" bythe ship.
"Unfortunately, this was not done. Therefore, we have farmore questions for the Dutch side than they can have for us,"RIA quoted Meshkov as saying.
"Everything that happened with the Arctic Sunrise was pureprovocation."
Russian authorities have pressed piracy charges, which couldresult in prison sentences of 15 years.
Greenpeace said it was holding up to 100 protests in about48 countries on Saturday to call for the detainees to be freed.
In London up to 700 people demonstrated outside the RussianEmbassy with six Britons among those arrested by Russia.
Actor Jude Law, who knows one of the arrested Britonsthrough his children's school, was among the protesters callingfor Russia to release the detainees and condemning the chargesof piracy as "ludicrous".
"They go into these situatons often expecting arrest and thearrests draw more attention which is a positive but ... thepossibility of a 15-year prison stretch is beyond reason," Lawtold the BBC.
Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague has raised thecase with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. Officialssaid Britain's concerns were based on "consular" issues ofwelfare.
The Dutch government contests the "unlawful manner" in whichthe ship was intercepted and is seeking the release of all itspassengers, who include 28 activists and two freelancejournalists.
Greenpeace says the activists had been engaged in a peacefulprotest in international waters to highlight the environmentalrisks posed by drilling in Arctic waters.
The group says Russian officials boarded its icebreaker anddetained activists at gunpoint after the group pilotedmotorboats toward an exploration vessel working for Russia's topoil producer, the state-controlled Rosneft, and globalmajor ExxonMobil.
Two activists also scaled the side of the Gazprom-owned Prirazlomnaya platform, actions Russia's ForeignMinistry said threatened security.
As well as the Dutch and British citizens, the groupincludes four Russians, two Argentines, two Canadians, two NewZealanders, a man with Swedish and U.S. citizenship and onenational each from the United States, Australia, Brazil,Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey andUkraine.
The activists are currently being held in custody in thenorthern Russian city of Murmansk.

Kumquat transducer

Rugby World Cup games will be moved from Christchurch after the stadium in New Zealand's second- biggest city was damaged by an earthquake on Feb. 22.
New Zealand is ready to pull out of future Rugby World Cups unless an International Rugby Board review recommends a commercial model that would address revenue losses for the major teams, the nation's rugby boss said.
New Zealand's Dan Carter, Test rugby's all-time top points scorer, has hardly touched a ball in months.
Land Rover was appointed an official sponsor of Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand and a top-level worldwide partner of the following edition of the event in England in 2015.
New Zealand's government forecasts tourist arrivals will increase by an average of 3.5 percent a year through 2016, buoyed by the Rugby World Cup and a global economic recovery.

New on our Bookshelves
Another of the new publications featuring an MHS collection is Castorland Journal: An Account of the Exploration and Settlement of Northern New York State by French Émigrés in the Years 1793 to 1797, by Simon Desjardins and Pierre Pharoux. This edition, just published by Cornell University Press, was edited by John A Gallucci, Assistant Professor of French at Colgate University, and contains a very useful introduction, footnotes, and appendices.
Desjardins and Pharoux were agents of the French Compagnie de New York, sent to manage the company's Castorland tract in what are today Lewis and Jefferson Counties. The journal recounts their travels, business meetings (with the likes of Philip Schuyler, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr) and the many obstacles they faced.
The original Castorland journal was given to the Historical Society in September 1863 by William Appleton, after having been found and purchased in a Paris bookstall. Our Proceedings (Vol. VII, p. 145) record "The President [Robert C. Winthrop] presented, on behalf of William Appleton, Esq., a volume, chiefly in manuscript, entitled 'Journal de Castorland, - Relation du Voyage et des Etablissements des Emigrés Français dans l'Amérique Septentrionale,' &c., 1793-1796. Voted, That the thanks of the Society be presented to Mr. Appleton for this acceptable donation."
Gallucci's edition of Castorland Journal is currently on our display shelves in the library for easy access, and the original journal (catalog record) is here and available for use on microfilm.

"A friend gave me this recipe for hamentaschen, the traditional pastry of the Jewish holiday of Purim. The filling is more likely to please an adult than a child. To use up all the filling takes somewhere between one and two batches of dough. These freeze well. I'm totally guessing on the time it takes to make them. They aren't quick, but worth the effort!"
Serving Size: 1 (39 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 72
"I can't say that these are the 'Best Ever!' but then I've never had ANY hamentaschen before, so.... However, these are VERY, VERY GOOD, that I know! I made just half a batch, however, because I had yet another recipe for a poppy seed version, & wanted to try both. This one I really like, probably because of the dried fruits & the orange, & the lemon & the RAISINS! Totally lost track of the time while preparing them, but it was long [& a lot of fun!]. There's no way these will last through or even to the Jewish holiday of Purim, but then I'm not Jewish [just enjoy making some of the traditional recipes!]. Many thanks for sharing!"

This is a very weird flick. Were as the first part is extremely boring
the second part is full of gore. The thing that makes it almost not
watchable is the fact that it was filmed badly and the translation in
the subtitles came too late or wasn't done for some parts.
It's easy to spot that it's all about politics and that one crazy girl has the lead. She bangs everyone that she come across and she even give head with a chickens head. Further she does that again with a man but unlucky for him she bites his weener off. And that's were the gore comes in. She's as mad as hell and shoots one in the head in a gory way to perform some kind of necrophilia with the corps.
I wasn't really into it because the first part is as stated rather boring. But I was told about the extreme gore and I must admit that that was done in a pure old school way. But still, even as I like gore this isn't one of my favourites due the way it was shot and the bad acting. If one is ready to be killed you just don't care or the girl being opened in different ways, who cares.
But gorehounds will adore it but please skip to the 40 minute to see it slowly come in all the glory gore.
