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

I’d say as a host, you could always remind people to take their unused booze as they leave. I really have no desire to accumulate a bunch of random alcohol and if you say something when people leave, all awkwardness is removed.
To me unused alcohol is not a gift. You should bring a separate bottle or something else for that.
And LOL for Cecil now saying he’s trying to stir the pot after losing his temper a few pages back. All over trying to save himself a couple of bucks by sleeping on the couch.
