I mean, more people would come if homie stopped putting beer on the counter to get warm.
Maybe he’s in England.
Lagers and ciders are cold, some bitters/stouts etc are room temp.
I know of zero beers that are better warm.
Same. But there are stouts for example that are better at room temperature. An American told me that.
TIL, maybe thats why I haven’t found any stout that I like.
(Mostly an Ale, lager, IPA drinker)
I chill everything…which is mostly ales, lagers, IPAs, and pilsners.
I’m slowly discovering stouts and porters as I get older, and I chill those too, I’ve never disliked one, but that doesn’t mean I’m drinking them the best way.
I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but this photo is 100% from North America (I was going to say US, but it could be Canada).
Brown wood pantry doors.
It’s the massive fridge/freezer and the stove sticks out past the kitchen counter. Two things I don’t think I’ve seen in Europe before.
It’s a bit blurry but that is definitely an NA plug in the background.
Yeah and only 7 beers? Was he waiting for one or two person only?
One
I usually drink 6-8 beers at a house party, but I never drink spirits. There is a bottle of vodka and whiskey on the counter, so if he is an abstinent, beers are for one friend, spirits for the other.
That’s a very optimistic take.
He must not like the friend who drinks beer if he’s providing luke-warm brew.
This would make for a great date!
The fridge is full of beers, these didn’t fit
I have a theory that would satisfy both your concerns. He has the fridge full of beer, chilled and ready to drink.
Once people start taking them out you put the one’s from the counter in to cool down
This reminds me of a post I saw were a guy had even made a lot of food that needs a lot of time and care. So when I saw that this guy went for only snacks in a bag (chips) I felt relieved. Sucks no one came but at least he can eat and drink what he bought when ever and invite ppl with the same setup on a later date.
Yeah I remember that. It was the first thing I thought of her and felt sad again.
Post it on a public college party group chat. Your house will be packed like sardines in 15 minutes.
That whisky and vodka will be gone in 37 seconds.
And everything of value was lost.
When my wife was in a 3rd grade nobody came to her birthday. Her mother had mental problems and had an ‘episode’ earlier that year. Lovely parents decided to ostracize the entire family.
People suck, especially in small communities
Did your wife have beer pong and liquor ready at her party?
Send the addy I’m otw
And this is why i will never host a social function again.
That is the result of my every effort
this is why I will never ever have a party.
RSVPs are a thing
People say yes then cancel the same day of the event.
For me it’s the thought of people I don’t know very well (if at all) going through and/or breaking my shit.
It sucks for sure. On average I invite 20ish people and expect 5 to show up. If nobody shows up I’m still eating the good food and having a couch bonfire. Ain’t nobody stopping my fun
Why disappoint yourself: don’t invite anyone in the first place and enjoy it all the same.
Hahaha, because I do have friends that I do like to see. But we are all of the age where we actually have responsibilities (kids, wives, husbands, family, jobs etc). Not everyone can be available at 3 weeks notice. And that’s fair
because I do have friends
Rub it in why don’t you… 😞
I know, lol it was a cynical joke. I’m in a similar boat.

My last party went much like this. First party thrown since the divorce, went all out on a halloween costume party. Was hounding my best friend about it for months, only for him to flake saying he didn’t want to drive the 40 minutes to my house. Nobody came, spent over $1000 on decorations alone. I’ll throw another party at some point, but I’ll need to find some new friends first.
Oh man. I’ve had this kind of thing. I started inviting people I knew wouldn’t come. I wouldn’t feel bad when they didn’t. But I’d occasionally get a couple that I didn’t expect and had a good time.
My girlfriend hates hearing no though so she only invites those she knows will say yes. It’s a bit of a bummer. Because I always enjoy the surprise of someone I didn’t expect.
Didn’t you request replies from your invitees (RSVP)?
of course, they all said yes. invited 20-ish people, hoped for 7-10, got none. They started bailing about a day before, but only 4 definitively said they couldn’t make it.
ill come tell me the address
I don’t see the problem, honestly: dude just got more beer/whisky/(gin || vodka) to himself, not even counting the snacks. One less party, one more month of cozy evenings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
More whisky to drown the crushing loneliness.
Or make a nice 5-12% cocktail to chill out while watching a movie or something
Gotta keep that existential dread at bay.
Vodka. I believe the New Amsterdam gin has a black label and the vodka has that blue one.
one more month of cozy evenings
A 1.75 of vodka, a fifth of whiskey, and seven beers? That wouldn’t last a week for me but good on you, fam!
My friend, sorry I think you should talk to someone real. Get help! That shit destroys…
I appreciate your concern but I’m not looking to hear some kind of abstinence lecture.
I appreciate your concern but I’m not looking to hear some kind of abstinence lecture.
Not that I have any horse in this race, but for the record there’s a profound difference between abstinence and moderation, and if you don’t think there are gradations between “alcoholic levels of ethanol consumption” and “no alcohol consumption,” then perhaps they have a point.
Be good to yourself, my friend.
I’ll never drink New Amsterdam gin again. Don’t get me wrong, I love the stuff but I learned quick it’s the only alcohol that’s had me doing shady stuff like stealing someone’s bike, breaking into a car or pushing my friends around in a shopping cart in the streets at 3 AM.
I’ve drank to excess plenty of times in my younger days but never was I doing stuff like that. Something about that alcohol in particular is wild.
Imagine bragging about how much you drink to some randos on the internet.
Yeah, my usual consumption is 2×.5 of cider per evening, so 3.5 days on beer + ~5 days on whisky + ~17.5 days on vodka ≈ 26 days, but realistically more, since I don’t drink every day.
“I didn’t have a party but I found out who my friends were.”
life gave him lemons!
F
It’s just as the ancient songs prophesied

Triple when they convinced you to throw a party even though you know people won’t show. Happy 18th birthday, where are your friends?
