So basically, I agree.

I played once, which was one time too many. I went to a "party" with a bunch of grad students and one of my TA's...and by "party" I mean I went to a house where I had to take off my shoes before entering, drank cheap red wine that was being passed off as good, and wanted to jump off the balcony while I listened to deep discussions about Eli Weisel. Then someone decided to get wild and break out Cranium...seriously, if you consider that a party or getting wild you should walk blindfolded into the nearest intersection, that's getting wild motherfucker...

(Ya'll know I'm not mean...but I hate this game more than anything, except crickets..I still hate them more)

I usually leave alcohol at the party, but usually because by the time I leave, I've forgotten about it.

I would probably leave it anyway, cause I would feel awkward going to find it and carrying it out.

I hate centipedes more than grasshoppers.

It was a "Vertigo - Chocolate & Cookies And Cream Flavoured Pop".

OMG I totally thought it looked like a tampon. Thank goodness you clarified

Haha. I know right? I was not trying to suck out the juice.

IF AND IF its a bottle that is for everyone you leave it if its your bottle ie BYOB you take it (which there shouldnt be anything left anyways.)
Another prob is its illegal to drive with an open bottle in the vehicle or walk in public so when im in the bag and stumbling or weaving home tha last thing I need a an open bottle to give the pigs an excuse to nail me.

Dude, just leave it behind. It's a gift.

If they don't want it, they can chuck it.

Or save it for next time you are over because then they know that they have some alcohol at their house that they know you like.

I have left many a JD bottle around the midwest although I know none of my friends will touch it. If it gets drank by someone else at a different party, so be it.

YES. I buy weird things sometimes knowing my friends won't drink them and I'll have it there for later. Consider it free storage.

Actually, my friends are drunks so they'll drink it even if they don't like it.

Granted, I also have a 6-pack of chocolate beer in my crisper drawer that someone left behind 2 years ago. I sampled it once and its horrible, but I feel terrible throwing it out.

unless the host asks you, it's wrong.
