Summarize the following:
There are a wide variety of places that sell alcohol. You can get what you need for your party at both online and in person at liquor stores, beer distributors, grocery stores, and some large retailers. Save money on your alcohol by comparing prices. Often, online retailers or wholesale stores have lower price points. Liquor stores and beer distributors may have more of a selection, but they may also be significantly more expensive. Cut costs where you can and splurge a bit on something special like a premium liquor or wine. Ask store personnel if they are willing to give you a deal. Explain that you will be buying a larger quantity of alcohol and were hoping to help the local economy by supporting the business. Find out if the vendor will refund you for unopened bottles. However, don't be too push negotiating prices or you might offend the store owner. Bring some friends or family members to help you carry your purchases. You may have people who don't consume alcohol and many guests may want something non-alcoholic in between drinks. Make sure to have either tap or bottled water available to your guests and an assortment of other options such as soda, juice, or tea. Recognize that you can use many non-alcoholic drinks as mixers with liquor. Remember that alcohol causes the body to dehydrate, which means that your guests need to drink water to replenish lost fluids. Encourage your guests to drink more than only alcohol. In addition to your non-alcoholic beverage drinkers, those guests having liquor may want something with which to make a mixed drink. Having a wide variety of mixer options will keep your guests happy and can also help save on alcohol. You may also want extras such as grenadine or Angostura bitters. Consider all or some of the following mixers for your party: Club soda or seltzer Tonic Ginger ale Cola Diet cola Lemon-lime soda Tomato juice Grapefruit juice Orange juice Cranberry juice Some people like a garnish with their mixed drinks and some guests drinking non-alcoholic beverages may also like them in their beverages. Garnishes are relatively cheap, so you can buy extras and use leftovers for other occasions. Figure on lemon, lime, and two each of following for each guest: olives, cherries, cocktail or Gibson onions. Every person has different tastes when it comes to alcohol. Some people like warm beer, while others like ice-cold beer. Some of your guests may like their mixed drinks on the rocks or non-alcoholic beverages with a few ice cubes. Plan on buying or making 1.5 pounds of ice per person. This will ensure that you have plenty of ice for drinks and any ice baths for wine or beer. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can result in sick guests. As host of a party with alcohol, serve fooda meal or finger foods-- alongside the alcohol. Have 5-6 choices of finger foods if your party takes place outside of a mealtime. Calculate 1-2 of each choice per guest. If it is during a mealtime, you'll need 8-10 foods. You'll need to figure on 2-3 of each choice per guest in this case. Think of the type of drinks you're serving to guide your food selections. For example, things like chicken wings, sliders, and pizza go well with beer. You could do cheese and arugula toasts with herb oil or tomato mozzarella skewers with wine. For liquors, you could do deviled eggs or a guacamole. Consider other options such as soups, tiny sandwiches, fruit squares, cut vegetables and dip, or meats such as salami. Make sure to add extras for hungry or larger men. Your guests won't be able to enjoy the drinks and food spread you provide if they don't have anything to drink them out of or off which to eat. Make sure you get plenty of cups, plates, utensils, and napkins for your guests. If you're using disposable or plastic utensils, plan to get extra in case people throw them away. For cups, have guests write their names on the cups so that they can continue to use them throughout the evening. Buy disposable bamboo utensils if you want to watch out for the environment. Often, bamboo options look nice than their plastic counterparts, though they may be more expensive. Make sure to have paper towels or cloth dishtowels on hand to clean up any spills or messes. You may also want to get tablecloths to protect any tables or other furniture from spills.

summary: Purchase your alcohol. Get non-alcoholic beverages. Provide mixers. Have plenty of garnishes. Cool off drinks with ice. Offer different foods. Get cups and utensils.

Summarize the following:
Space is not effective unless some reflection is done during the process. Think of what you may have done to prompt her need for space and assess whether or not you can prevent doing so in the future. If the space was not prompted by you, think about her life at the moment and what she might be needing. The space could have little or nothing to do with you, so don't take it too personally. Once she has a bit more free time or she is reaching out to you on a more consistent basis, check in with her and see if she is still looking for space from you. If not, spend some time together. And if she does need more time, give her that for as long as you can. You might say something like "I wanted to see if you still needed some space from the relationship. It's okay if you do, but I wanted to check in before I started contacting you more frequently." Ask her if she had any moments of clarity during this time of space, if she enjoyed it, and if she would like to make it more permanent. Tell her what you learned as well and reaffirm your commitment to the relationship if you still feel that way. Talk about ways to avoid needing space in the future or ways to provide more alone time. For instance, perhaps you had been going out with her and her friends when they would have dinner or go to the movies. See if she would like that time with them alone, instead. After the two of you have taken a bit of space from one another, you might both find that you enjoy your time apart more than you do your time together. Though this can be a sad realization, know that it is time to move forward separately. Let go of the relationship and wish her the best.
summary: Reflect on the relationship. Reconnect more consistently when the time is right. Find a way to be happy mutually. Let the relationship go if need be.
