pleasantly suprised they offered beer and wine as well as the usual soft drinks to imbibe. I mean what is a pizza experience without a little beer or wine? Well, it would be every childhood birthday party I ever attended,...

(although this is not always possible in family gatherings!!). Otherwise, most people will be well behaved in a social setting (beware over-imbibers, though). A friend who hosts large and incredibly diverse parties has great...
