So you invite people over and say “BYOB” and they only drink half and then take their half home.

To be perfectly honest, especially considering cost of alcohol, I can see both sides of the leave your beer there or take it home scenarios. Personally I have done both many times, probably leaning towards leaving beer most times but I certainly don’t judge or get upset at my friends if they take theirs with them when they leave my place.
It also isn’t an issue ever with our friends but I’ve seen other friend groups argue over it and I think that’s a dicey one haha

In this instance it was a dinner party. We invited him, and as guests usually do, they bring beverages. To be fair, he did bring probably a lot (it was a long time ago, but say a couple of 6-packs for what would have been 10 adults - granted we already had drinks and it wasn’t a BYOB thing) I am going off an old memory on this), and he did ask if he should take it home after. I just said “sure”, but what else would a polite host say? We didn’t need it, but it really struck me as odd though.
