Who do not give alcohol as something special?
In order not in order to commit blunders rather not give alcohol to be a gift:
a pregnant woman plus a young mother. She will not reap the benefits of it:) Grandma rather not (although you'll find those, what they drink beneficial wine willingly or tincture), with grandparents sometimes different - a good deal depends on the age.
someone who does not need 18 years - a clear obviousness, but again worth it.
someone about whom you know you can't drink a lot, do not like or cannot drink. Everyone has such friends to allow them to alcohol as a gift is particularly stupid idea.
someone who has difficulty with alcohol - yes, even among people from the 18-24 age group include the people who already drink an excessive amount of / too often and providing them with as a gift bottle of vodka just isn't the most sensible concept.
And giving alcohol on the star seems to me a bad idea. As already do not know very well what to buy someone with regard to Christmas then give chocolates, and no alcohol.
