We had NO problem with anyone being drunk at out wedding. They might have been but no one was obnoxious to know that they were. I am sure there were alot of buzzed people there but I don't think there is any problem with that. You are there to have a good time and everyone had that as we were told how great our wedding was years later.

An open bar doesn't mean everyone is getting drunk.

And a cash bar certainly doesn't mean guests are not getting drunk.

Very true. I do enjoy though going out and having some drinks to relax.

I don't agree with the concept of a cash bar. I think it is in poor taste.

Not everyone has to get drunk for it to be worthwhile to curb the amount of alcohol served,imo.

<<...when I've said time and time again having the people there was what was important.>>

I questioned if you would scale back IF you lived in a pocket of the country with customs like Hazeleyes' area. You don't, so it shouldn't matter to you and your guests. Your guests were all likely fine with a cash bar. But that alone doesn't make you the only one who had a wedding in order to celebrate your nuptials with beloved family members and friends, does it?

I do too. I just don't necessarily feel that a wedding reception is the place to get falling down drunk. I think that a lot of people tend to see it that way. I went to a reception not too long ago where someone became intoxicated and vomited all over the bathroom.That is over the top imo.
