DH and I have friends we have dinner with regularly, often in our homes but sometimes out.
Scuba......... Do you keep some alcohol on hand to offer these friends when they dine at your home? Or now that you're not drinking, is it "water with a twist" for everyone?
Perhaps you could let them know what you're serving so they could BYOB their own wine if they'd enjoy a glass with those sumptuous rib-eyes you're grilling ?
Dining at home seems like a touchier situation to cope with than handling checks when dining out if the precedent at home has been for you to offer a cocktail during pre-dinner gab sessions and perhaps a glass of wine with dinner and now are stopping cold turkey. At the restaurant, you can likely switch to separate checks and everyone gets what they want. At home, well it just seems more complicated to figure out and yet hasn't been mentioned in the thread beyond your mention that at-home dining is common for you and your friends.
