In which more advice is followed
We hosted a mixer for Chris's law school class last night, which turned out rather well. No one got sloppy drunk, and our hardwood floors are intact. Someone did mysteriously manage to set fire to one of our dish towels, but they got it in the sink before I even noticed the smell. Apparently some people are so impressed by gas stoves that they feel the need to turn on the burner.
Of course, lots of people brought lots of cheap and mid-range beer and left it behind. Although it's nice to have a fridge half-full of Fat Tire, I was at a loss figuring out what to do with a cooler of Budweiser (besides find out who brought it and demand they take it back!). But, after watching a snail ooze its way across the hosta again this morning, I remembered the slug trap Anne had suggested. At last, a use for Budweiser, besides cooking chicken!
We'll see how it goes... I hope it works, we have a lot of Budweiser to use up.

Re the beer--It works very well. I used left over picnic plates(small) and just set them flat on the ground to make it easier for the varmits to slime their way into the beer. But on reflection that might not work out for you if Truman has access to the plates ( no beer left-no slugs).
As for the Rossi red stuff, simply store it away for the next sangria bash. That crap has a shelf life longer than the glass jug it comes in.
Obviously you have to encourage the group to have another party soon and tell them you will bring the "leftovers". That way you will clean out your fridge and get a reputation as good, generous people without spending any of your own money.
um, toss the rossi in the garbage. It won't actually last very long and it's total crap. Sorry...but, you know, we're wine snobs. It may be fine, really. It might.
