Either throw a rocking house party, and let people help themselves (and believe me, people who know how to mix drinks are more than eager to demonstrate their prowess), or _attend_ a party and bring the booze as a house warmer. Nobody really objects to already-opened bottles of spirits. It’s not like they go bad or anything… ---

Those bottles will also keep for awhile if you just want to put them away. ---

Call up your friends and give it to them, or bring it into work and give it to cow-orkers. They will love you for it. ---

I am ALWAYS late for these damn threads. I can see a thousand anti-war threads, but do I EVER find the drinking threads on time? NO! Don’t even think of pouring it down the drain, please! Are you so strapped for space that you can’t keep a couple bottles around? The stuff does not go bad you know. I suggest you just hang on to it, if worst comes to worst a can of OJ concentrate can make a mixer for the guests. I don’t think of Jim Beam as being anything to write home about, but YMMV. On the compost thing, I don’t think there is any active yeast, even in wine, and if there was any, the Bicardi probably did the little buggers in. ---
