BYOB

A Buddelparty or fete ( ndt.: bottle, bottle), in southern Germany also angliziert Bottle Party ( engl.: bottle, bottle) also Buttelparty in the North German or potluck, is a celebration to which the ( invited ) guests their ( alcoholic ) drinks bring their own. Often this refers only to spirits (worth about five to twenty euros ), while the host water, juices and beer or wine organized. Depending on the form of the ceremony he also provides snacks and possibly a cold or hot buffet at which guests help often.

Most of the time brought bottles are collected at a central location and emptied into self-service. In this case, it's usually frowned upon to withhold one's own present or to hoard drinks. Elsewhere, however, it is quite common that each guest really drinking only that which he has brought with him.

The result was the party form in the 1950s in America. There she is on the acronyms BYOB ( bring your own booze / beer / beverages) or BAB (bring a bottle ) on the invitation recognizable. In Germany it has been around since the 1980s, especially among young people, popular, but is also found in other circles appeal because the amount of work and the cost of the host are considerably lower. Example, it is often the case that guests bring to a private dinner with friends in a medium-sized frame the wine, such as barbeques to the salad.

From the alternative metal band System of a Down comes a song with the name BYOB, which was written on the basis of this tradition, but in the title of the importance of the last ' B ' to ' Bombs ' which is why the song " Bring Your was changed, Own Bombs "is.

In some areas this form of celebration is also correlated with the bring your own glass, especially for wheat beer (0.5 liter or 1 liter ), or schnapps ( 2 cl and 4 cl ).
