Weddings are a celebration of two people’s love, and alcohol is a common element of wedding receptions. However, not everyone serves alcohol the same way, and couples have different options for serving alcohol at their weddings. To avoid the pitfalls of a drunk wedding guest, it is important to have a plan in place to ensure guests get home safely at the appropriate time.
A good ratio for serving a full bar at a wedding is 1/3 beer, 1/3 wine, and 1/3 liquor, as well as champagne for toasts. If 100 guests will need about 30 to 40 beers per hour, a professional wedding planner will have already told the bartender to stop service a few hours before the end.
Mistake #4: Not taking the weather into account. It is important for the bride to have fun and be comfortable, but she also needs to be respectful and presentable. Make your mocktails even more enticing than the cocktails.
Matrimonial consent is defined in canon 1057.2 as an act of the will, by which a man and a woman mutually give and accept one another for the purpose of establishing a marriage. Consent is an act of the will, but it is not mandatory. If you prefer to abstain from alcohol due to religious reasons, health concerns, or not liking its taste, it is customary but not mandatory.
In conclusion, it is important to have a balance between being sober and having fun at your wedding. It is not necessary to drink all day and night, but it is important to be respectful and presentable. If you get a bit carried away, it is okay to own it and be happy you had fun.

Chris Van Tulleken takes us through some tips for staying sober(ish) next time you’re out drinking. What are some of your tips?
What is considered disrespectful at a wedding?
If someone invites you to their wedding, respond. It’s rude to add to their to-do list and make the hosts chase you down.
Only RSVP for the people invited. Don’t write in a guest’s name if you didn’t get a plus-one. Don’t bring extra people to the wedding.
Some people bring extra guests, in addition to their plus-one. Where will you put these other guests? “It’s annoying.” Our iPhones can take great photos, but the couple probably hired a professional photographer.
Is it rude to not drink at a wedding?
It’s not rude not to drink. It’s rude to make someone drink. A little preparation can help at an occasion like this. Tell the server or bartender you don’t want to drink and ask for a non-alcoholic drink.
Should you drink on your wedding night?
Don’t drink before the ceremony. That’s not a good look. Drunk brides or grooms. Stay sober on your wedding day to stay in the moment. If you don’t listen to me and drink in the morning, stop drinking at least an hour before the ceremony. Drink water and eat. Take deep breaths and be present. You’re about to make a lifelong commitment. Enjoy this moment with a clear head. Have one cocktail during photos. Some photographers might disagree, but I think it’s nice when the catering staff has a tray of champagne flutes for each member of the wedding party right after the ceremony. Photos can take a while, so it’s nice to have a drink while you wait. This is especially true for your wedding party, who often wait for photos and can’t join the guests at the cocktail hour. Now you can drink. The ceremony and formal photos are done. Time to enter the reception and celebrate with a few drinks!
Is it rude to have a dry wedding?
Wedding alcohol rules are up to the couple, experts say. One expert said dry weddings are fine. Let guests know in advance. Jacqueline Whitmore, an etiquette expert based in Florida, told Fox News Digital, “It is not mandatory to serve alcohol at a wedding reception.” The couple may choose a “dry wedding” for various reasons. Don’t explain to your guests.

How do you not overshare when drunk?
Ask questions. To stop oversharing, get someone else to overshare. Asking questions will get you talking and stop you from going on too long. If you can’t think of anything else, tell yourself it’s OK. This is a good idea even if you don’t fear oversharing at parties. Many things people share when drunk or high are things they should talk about sober. If you need to talk about something in your life, make time to do it before you drink.
Write in a journal, talk to a friend, see a professional. If you resolve your issues sober, you’ll have less to overshare when you’re not.
What should couples do on their wedding night?
Talk to your partner. Communication is key in any relationship. Tell your partner what you want. Tell them what you like and don’t like. Knowing what each other wants will improve your sex life. If it’s your first time, be honest about what you’re comfortable with. On your wedding night, don’t stress. Enjoy time with your new partner. You should be relaxed for sex.
Don’t expect too much. Not everyone has great sex on their wedding night. This can be for many reasons, but don’t worry about it. Sometimes it’s just not the right time. You might be too tired or stressed. The most important thing is spending time with your partner and enjoying yourselves.
How to not get too drunk at your wedding?
Mixing spirits is better than drinking one kind of drink all day. We think it’s smart to have lighter cocktails. Try a wine spritzer or something clearer. On your wedding day, you’ll probably start a drink and then put it down to get ready for pictures or thank your guests. If you’re already drinking something light, you’ll be in a better position. What about your cocktails? Get some ideas here.
Cocktail hour with your crew can be hard.
If you want to avoid alcohol, going to cocktail hour might seem counterintuitive. But if you can get into the party early, you’ll be less likely to drink too much during the reception. Tell your photographer so they can get you in on the action. Eat while you’re there. Eat! You’ve probably been thinking about the wedding for months, so eat at your action stations instead of crackers and veggies. These tasty treats will help you soak up the alcohol at the open bar.
How to politely say no alcohol at a wedding?
Add more info to your wedding website. You can answer this question on your wedding website in an FAQ. Keep it simple: We’re excited to see you! No alcohol during the reception.
Dry wedding etiquette. You may not know why a couple isn’t serving alcohol at their wedding.
They may be trying to be more mindful about drinking, or it may be more serious.
What is wedding shaming?
Wedding shaming is when you make fun of someone else’s wedding just because it’s different from yours. I’ve been guilty of this. It’s not cool.
Wedding shaming and how to recognize it. Wedding shaming is making fun of someone else’s wedding just because it’s different. I’ve done it. It’s not cool. As a platform for the unusual and different, we should respect other people’s choices too. With so many people feeling pressure to have the perfect wedding, it’s easy to judge other people’s decisions when we don’t understand them. If you find yourself judging others, just ask yourself if you would do the same to them. Don’t judge others’ choices. Keep your opinions to yourself. If you don’t have nice things to say, don’t say them! This seems to disappear when it comes to weddings. People love to give unsolicited advice. Sadly, most wedding shamers keep their opinions to themselves but share them with others.
How do you hide drinking at a wedding?
Take the bottle to a private place with a non-alcoholic drink. Drink the alcohol, then the soda or juice. Find some mints at the wedding and put them in your pocket. Eat them through the event. Empty a plastic water bottle.

Here’s some real tips from a frequent drinker: 1. Make sure you have had a good sleep before that 2. Avoid physically exhausting things before drinking 3. Eat before drinking, or eat while drinking 4. In fact, try to drink slower 5. Dont go for cheap alcohol, the hangover will be horrible 6. Don’t focus on the drinking, instead, focus on the conversation with your drinking buddies 7. Don’t mix types of alcohol, drink only one type 8. Make a pause before getting the next drink 9. Not recommended, but if you feel like you’re about to get shitfaced, try to throw up, you will vomit the alcohol that still hasnt reached your blood 10. And a bonus tip, dont wear/carry valuable items or too much money with you if you plan on getting drunk, or give them to your non drinking friend Cheers, everyone!
For all of you trying to get wasted, here’s some tips. 1.) Don’t eat anything 8 hours before going out. 2.) Order a stong drink like whiskey or vodka. 3.) Specifically ask for no ice and a straw. 4.) Drink your beverage of choice sitting down, drink it as quickly as possible and move as little as possible. 5.) Stand up about 30 minutes after drinking, do it quickly and walk a few steps. You may notice that you are extremley drunk. BIG Warning: vommiting is very likley, be prepared.
I haven’t seen my answer in the comments: Cognitive Behavior Therapy, specifically: 1) always set your drink down between sips and 2) every time you reach for the glass, try to stop yourself from grabbing the glass. It works surprisingly well. The more you drink, the less you stop yourself. Even if it only works a tiny bit the first night out, keep trying it every time you drink. After a few months of this practice, you will have trained yourself to check, at each sip, whether or not you really want that sip.
Eat plenty before going out and drinking (Preferably bread products that will help absorb the alcohol but greasy food works really well too) To avoid a hang over drink nothing but water towards the end of the night if you do get drunk (And if you remember) And leave you car at home (Not only because driving while under the influence is the stupidest thing you can do the walk home will sober you up)
Here are some of my tips: 1. Never drink on an empty stomach! If possible eat something greasy before drinking, not just a salad. 2. Never drink straight from a bottle or a can, pour it in a glass. It’s hard to judge how fast you are drinking if you don’t see the liquid. Also drinking from a glass let’s you smell the drink so you get a richer taste. 3. Try to drink a whole glass of water after every glass of alcohol. It hydrates you and gives you some time to judge your situation and decide if you need another drink.
You didn’t really answer the question, guys…here, lemme help you: If you drink a glass of water (still or sparking, doesn’t matter) between drinks, it should slow down the rate at which the alcohol builds up in your blood. If it’s sparkling water you can always tell your friends it’s a G&T and pretend you’re still drinking right along side them! When they’re stumbling out of the pub you’ll be waltzing out, having spend not nearly as much money as they have ;).
Here’s some actual methods that I’ve tried and tested to delay getting drunk. When drinking whisky, always drink each sip at an interval of 3-5 minutes. This allows the alcohol to move in waves and gently increases it’s concentration over time. So to reduce this affect, take a rough 15 minute break between each peg. You’ll be less drunk and more tipsy helping you better understand your surroundings, have fun with your friends and maybe even remember to call the Uber to drop you home!
What works for me is to have a conversation with someone at the pub to increase the gap between each drink, and to stay within the boundaries of our capacity… The moment we feel a little tipsy, that’s when we must try slowing it further and perhaps giving a gap of a few minutes to allow the body to recover… During this time, it’s best to enjoy the music/conversation and maybe have some water to rehydrate ourselves😇💯 The moment we start competing with a fellow drunkard, that’s when things will go out of control and the hangover kicks in the following day🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
For those of you who struggle to pace yourself, try this. Get your friend to buy your drinks (but give them the money of course when you’re wanting one) and ask them to sometimes get you alcohol free beers but not tell you when. Make sure its always from a pint glass and most of the time you can’t tell which is which. That way you feel like you’re drinking the same but will be half as drunk.
I do it like this, every 1-2 drinks I will drink some water. That way keeps me hydrated and avoids hangover. If you’re going on a night out then get something with a lot of protein and a bit fattening. I found if you eat dairy such as cheese or drink milk you’re going to make yourself sick. A plain burger or egg fried rice with chicken or something like that is good and give yourself an hour before you start drinking. Water does not stop you getting drunk or help you sober up, that is a popular myth with young drinkers. drink responsibly and have fun.
I was once so drunk that I couldn’t remember anything, not even that I puked in my girlfriend’s car. Since then I have resolved not to go any further than lightly tipsy, that is my sign to stop and change that evening to non-alcoholic drinks. And i must say that nothing looks more ridiculous than an adult who is completely shitfaced and who cannot hold his alcohol and throws up all over the place! It has been 12 years not beeing drunk once, and on new years eve i broke my rule without even noticing it until it was to late. My mistake? Drinking a really nice rum to fast 3/4 of a 1,5 liter bottle in 2 hours and in a straight longdrink glas. This time i kept it clean but I surely learned my lesson once again.
I tried everything. I read books on how the subconscious works. I tried a cold quit. I went to AA. The best I ever did was 6 months sober with no cigarettes. Then binged for 2 months straight. This year I did 4 months and 15 days in a row being sober: got a job as a Supervisor and made $20/hr. Lost it due to booze. This substance ruined me. My I.Q. is 138, but I’m a failure due to alcohol. I cannot accomplish anything while alcohol is present. ☹️
I assume, from a psychology standpoint, that people drink more when stood up due to being significantly less “relaxed,” and so are more prone to fidgeting or, rather, making themselves comfortable by moving in natural manners. In similar ways, if you are standing with someone and are getting along quite well, people tend to mimic foot movements. This can probably be related to drinking in a drinking environment, whether it be by the person in front of them or simply the environment stimulating this behaviour – This is just my theoretical opinion, though.
I used to have an old work friend with a good trick, he uses this when drinking with the boss since the boss is a MASSIVE drinker and will drink far more than anybody else. Of course you can’t sit there and let him drink by himself, but also can’t constantly drink with him or..well..you’re stuffed. Anyways, Apple juice in a whiskey glass with ice. Looks similar and as long as you sip as you would whiskey they’re fooled! Just pray they don’t ask for a taste…
I can drink a liter of 35% or 40% whiskey and not feel a thing. It honestly upsets me. I’m 6″3 and 255lbs. I used to drink Bacardi 151, but when they banned it, i found all other hard proof stuff taste like butt. Now I have to drink a large bottle of wild turkey 101, to even get a buzz. I quit drinking heavy 3 weeks ago and i feel great. Alcohol is fun, until it just sucks. You get to a point where you are either stone cold sober, or black out drunk to where you can’t remember anything. When you have a problem, the line between the two is very hard to see clearly. When i sobered up, i could finally see how out of it I was. Who wants to be a zombie 24/7….
It’s not as much fun, But if you drink a glass of water equal to the size of each drink you have, between each drink, you will only be half as drunk. It will keep you closer to a legal limit adding time for you to process the previous drink, And you will not have a hangover. I don’t take my own advice. I don’t like wasting valuable drinking space. Maybe I’ll start? Thanks for the article. Cheers
Methamphetamine and NAC ….way back before meth got the horrible reputation ….before people were snorting and smoking it etc? I could drink a shitload of alcohol and not get very drunk ….So that is one chemical that would help make it possible. …the other thing I am guessing is a supplement/drug known as NAC …it helps prevent the alcohol poisoning and hangover so I assume it would also make one less drunk
My best tip. Have a Full strength. Half strength. Full strength. Half strength. Continue like this. You will make everyone think you’re a champion drinker. You’ll be having more fun because you’re not blackout drunk on the floor and you’re spending more money for more things, which releases chemicals in the brains reward system, making you feel happier. Bad side to this tip. Takes a toll to your bank account. Which is everyone’s least favourite thing to look at the day after drinking.
Start the night with a bit of food, and then for the first couple of drinks, alternate between booze and water for a little while, and then stick with whatever I’m drinking Last time I woke up with a hangover, I’d not eaten until I was comfortably drunk already and I’d drunk nothing but alcohol the entire night, and went from cider to tequila to vodka, and then drank some of my mate’s mojito flavoured beers cause he wasnt drinking them because they were disgusting
How to get drunk less: 1. Drink when you are fed, full, not when you are hungry. (Duh) 2. Don’t mix up different sorts of alcohol (combo from different spirits strikes more and hangover can be pretty terrible afterwards) 3. Don’t drink sparkled (carbonated) drinks with alcohol (alcohol is consumed quicker that way) 4. If you are drinking strong alcohol – some butter (e.g. on a bread) can delay you getting drunk. 5. Pause, grab a fresh air from time to time. Try smoking less if you do. Smoking is bad and enhances intoxication and is one of a reasons for a hangover. 6. Write down everything you drink. It’ll help you control yourself. Maybe not first few times, but afterwards you’ll understand your limits.
I honestly feel bad for the bride. It was so embarrassing for her and her’s family. Imagine that your husband/wife is drunk on our wedding. What would you think? I know, this alkohol accident can took place one time, for example, future husband would felt pretty stressed about getting married and he would wanted to forget about it. But honestly, I think, that this man is an alcoholic, if he cannot to stop drinking alcohol for just his biggest day or just doing it for his future wife. If I would be this woman, I didn’t accept this wedding. This is so frightening.
