Who don't give alcohol as something?
In order not for you to commit blunders rather not give alcohol as being a gift:
a pregnant woman as well as a young mother. She will not gain from it:) Grandma rather not (although you will discover those, what they drink beneficial wine willingly or tincture), with grandparents sometimes different - a lot depends on the grow older.
someone who does not have 18 years - an obvious obviousness, but again worth the item.
someone about whom you know you cannot drink a lot, do not like or maybe cannot drink. Everyone has such friends to allow them to alcohol as a gift is specially stupid idea.
someone who has difficulty alcohol - yes, even among people from the 18-24 age group will be the people who already drink excessive / too often and giving them as a gift bottle of vodka is not the most sensible strategy.
And giving alcohol around the star seems to me a negative idea. As already do not really know what to buy someone for Christmas then give chocolate, and no alcohol.
