Would it be tacky to put some kind of tip jar or alcohol donation jar on my home bar?

My house has become the gathering place for parties - I don鈥檛 mind鈥?but it鈥檚 becoming pretty expensive between food and alcohol鈥?mainly the alcohol. I always make sure my bar is stocked 鈥?for those unexpected unplanned parties.Would it be tacky to put some kind of tip jar or alcohol donation jar on my home bar?
They've probably started realizing you do this, so whenever that want to get sloshed they say "let's go to Mee's house." The best way would be to NOT be so well stocked. It's rude to ask guests to pay for your hospitality (and rude for them not to offer).
Yes, that would be very tacky. If it's getting too expensive for you to supply the good times, ask your friends to bring their own alcohol, and maybe even ask them to start bringing food. If they protest, maybe they aren't true friends. Explain to them that's it's getting too expensive for you to keep feeding them and supporting their alcohol bill.Would it be tacky to put some kind of tip jar or alcohol donation jar on my home bar?
Ask them to bring their own beer, for goodness' sake.
Only if you don't mind looking like a beggar. In other words, yes, very tacky. Your friends should be offering to return your hospitality instead of always coming to your house. Why don't you say next time "I've just loved having you all over, but I'm just not up to it this time, perhaps one of you would rather be host?"



And of course, if you're on very casual terms with these friends, how about saying "Oh, I'd love to, but I'm afraid my bar has gotten a bit low. Would you care to bring over the drinks this time?"Would it be tacky to put some kind of tip jar or alcohol donation jar on my home bar?
