Moochers, what do you do about them?

1. Get everyone wasted
2. Put a tip jar out
3. Have everyone make a secret donation
4. When they leave, call the cops and report the lowest tipper as a drunk driver.

After a few rounds, you will only have good tippers left to come over.

Hahahahaha! That's the best solution so far!

i certainly agree with the masses. If you have a few people over occasionally, let them grab a few beers. When they start expecting it or running into your supply too heavily or dont provide you beers at their house, then there is something to be said.

Tip jar, a little talk, ingredient list with prices, something. It is just not right for friends to do that. That is using someone and something should be said.

1. Pay toilet

2. Invite people to bring food. It's much more socially acceptable than asking for money.

3. Develop a new recipe, a Moocher Special Extra Pale. Maybe it could become a new official style. You could be sort of famous.

I got the impression that not only were they coming over on a regular basis, but they were also inviting themselves, or at least trying to. Having the audacity to invite yourself over throws out the general rules of civility.

I'm wanting to devise a magnetic donation box to keep right on the kegerator. I've been keeping my eyes out for some kind of mail slot/bill box kind of thing I can attach magnets to. So far I've not found anything that seems right for the task.

I did receive $10 from a buddy last night for beer donations, though he was only drinking SA Summer Ale. I really need to do a wit again since that is what most of my friends prefer.

I have no problems asking my buddies to throw me a couple of bucks if they want to drink more than a pint or two. I regularly host get-togethers, especially since I started kegging, and my friends are always very generous and willing to toss me a few bucks to supplement what I pay to make beer. I figure, if I go to a party where my friends have a keg, I'm gonna throw them some cash to help cover it - likewise, if my friends are going to come over to my place where I have a keg, whether it's full of homebrew or not, they can do the same, and they have all been willing to do that.
