Sebby, are you really saying you can't have a good time at a party without drinking? Seems kind of pathetic. Isn't variety the spice of life? A non-drinking party every once in a while just makes life more interesting.
I didn't serve alcohol at my wedding, but, with upwards of 90% non-drinkers in attendance, I never really considered it. If anyone had wanted to smuggle in a flask or go somewhere else for a drink, I wouldn't have minded (I think my alky great-aunt did plenty of tippling before she came!).
Re: Bilmore's point about the effects of alcohol being more the problem than the drink itself, I totally agree. I have a pretty high tolerance for tipsiness and alcohol-induced bonhomie, medium tolerance for sloppiness and falling down, and zero tolerance for barfing. Most of my friends and family and neighbors who drink never reach the sloppy stage, so we all get along great and I have no problem inviting them to my home (though they'll have to bring their own booze--I would have no idea what to get).
