S/O is alcohol a requirement for a wedding reception?

[Roxygurl]

There was a discussion in another post of mine regarding alcohol at wedding receptions so I thought I'd start a new post and gets y'all's opinion.

Would you base your decision to attend a wedding/reception based solely on if there will be alcohol or not?

If you have a cash bar we won't go, if we did go we'll take the alcohol money out of your gift. Dry wedding we would leave after we ate.

No, I go to celebrate the wedding.

As a person who has been sober while many weren't, there are a lot of drunk jerks out there. I had people who didn't care at the time that I was underage and later on, people that didn't care I was married. I can see why people wouldn't want alcohol at a wedding. Not like some people aren't jerks sober but alcohol sure can bring out the worst in people.

Ya realize your entrance into the reception better be a damn good gift. Like a maid for a year. Or a stand mixer, ill let ya in for a stand mixer.

I'm the one who started the convo with the OP in the other thread.  Here's my take.

If I'm shelling out $300 bucks for a gift, I want the option to have a glass of wine.  No one is forcing the non-drinkers to imbibe, but limiting those who want to is rude.

Juice toasts seem juvenile and low-class.  

Last, good hosts provide for their guests.  Weddings are celebratory events.  Most people like to drink (I'm not saying sloppily inebriated) while celebrating.

 You don't need alcohol to have a good time and if you do, then you have a problem.

Who said you did?
