How Can I Stop a Guest from Getting Wasted?
 We’re
having an open bar at the reception. How can I ensure that my fiancé's
hard-drinking friend won’t overdo it and cause a scene on my
wedding day?
 Ask
your fiancé to talk to his hard-partying friend. If he feels
awkward about singling out his pal, he could casually talk to a
group of his friends—including Mr. Boozer—about keeping
their party meters in check. These same friends can be pulled aside
before the wedding and asked to keep an eye on Mr. Boozer at the
reception.
You can also set up some guidelines for bar service: No shots
and no straight-up or on-the-rocks drinks should be served (mixed
drinks only); and all beer must be poured into glasses. On your
wedding day, have an attendant subtly point out Mr. Boozer to all
of the bartenders. They can help you by serving this determined
drinker watered-down drinks and only the smallest glasses of beer.
If you still think he’d end up mooning your other guests no
matter what you do, don’t invite him. Nothing should ruin your
special day.
