Supplying drinks for a party is a choice that only you are able to make. It may be that you are able to afford to do so and are quite happy to supply them. On the other hand there are many other people who choose to ask their guests to bring their own.
MixYourDrink.com is an online portal that gives people an opportunity to find cocktail recipes, advice and tips on their favourite beers, wines and spirits.
There is a certain social expectation that some parties will be catered for.
Milestone Birthdays - Generally, are catered for on some level. Perhaps wine and beer would be provided to a certain amount: For an 18th or 21 st. some Spirits and beer could be supplied. There is the option to have BYO or to have a bar tab to a limit that is affordable. A lot of these options would depend on the actual location of the intended party.
Engagements/Weddings - Again generally there is an expectation that it will be catered for with wine and beer package, sometime spirits in included but most often its acceptable to have people buy it at a bar.
If at a private venue then the amount of liquor supplied is well controlled. Young guests often favour a variety of mixed drinks, which are more easily kept in check at a private function.
Sometimes a gathering of a few good friends at an intimate dinner party is an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Usually at these events the host supplies the drinks to compliment the menu. Sometimes the guests are asked to bring a bottle of wine, or a guest may just present a bottle of wine to the host as a curtsey gesture.
Hosting a cocktail is another popular thing to do. Invite a few good friends and ask them to each bring a bottle of their favourite spirits and take turns mixing cocktail for the evening.
