As a rule we did not have any light beer in the house. We usually kept a keg of Dixie and a keg of Tuborg Dark in the chiller taps. After they stopped distributing Tuborg we went for Abita Amber and Abita Turbo Dog with the occasional Dixie Blackened Voodoo.
Anyone who wanted his own would stash a six pack or two in the chest cooler and we had a strict honor system not to poach each others bottled stuff without asking first. The bar was set up to provide G&T, V&T, Bourbon and Seven, Scotch and Soda, and Rum and Coke. For live music nights we would concentrate on mixed drinks and frozen 'ritas and for disco nights we would have extra kegs of lager. Twice a year we would have more formal parties in the house where we would serve champagne cocktails for our dates as well as having the usual bar offerings. Our major parties were usually held at hotels or similar venues where the management was "friendly and understanding". Since our house rule was "drink as much as you want, provided you can hold it, and if you can't hold it then cool it" we seldom had any problems of our guys getting so wasted that we needed to take their keys and sit on them until they were back in reality. Our Sergeant at Arms and his deputies were more like moving terrain features and a wise man did not argue, at least more than once. PC we were not, but our attitude was nobody gets hurt and nobody is allowed to put anyone else in danger. All in all, it worked well,
