As a guy I would bring my own beer because even if it was enough it wouldn't be the right kind unless the host and I shared tastes.

And a bottle of liquor because I couldn’t bring a lot of beer without intimating my mistrust of the host by bringing my own beer in the first place.

Edit: Also, if I was going somewhere I'd offer to bring all of the beer, and include a wide range and enough of what I like for everyone to leave satisfied.

And some liquor.

Bacchus is lord.

I've taken to bringing pre-mixed cocktails. Turns out, there are people who don't always have ice at home ...

I never have ice at home. My fridge can do that, but I don’t ever use ice*, and my drinking water is already RO so no need to muck up a very expensive fridge filter every few months for no reason.

* I use ice for making beer, but it’s an entire 5-gallon bucket frozen solid, usually just thrown outside overnight in winter.

Where I live, ice cubes are made by filling an ice cube tray with water and putting it into the freezer.

I mean I have that option as well, but I don’t use ice, so I don’t waste the freezer space, especially when that freezer space is already consumed by the built-in ice maker that isn’t hooked up to a water line, even tho I could easily feed the RO tank to it.

I do use ice trays for freezing milk before it goes bad, or leftover coffee for making iced coffee, but that’s about it. I have some really nice silicone honeycomb trays that have silicone lids, so perfect for milk and coffee, which typically don’t get used right away.
