Who will not give alcohol as something?
In order not to help commit blunders rather not give alcohol as being a gift:
a pregnant woman as well as a young mother. She will not reap the benefits of it:) Grandma rather not (although there are those, what they drink good wine willingly or tincture), with grandparents sometimes different - a good deal depends on the age group.
someone who does n't have 18 years - an obvious obviousness, but again worth that.
someone about whom you know you do not drink a lot, do not like or cannot drink. Everyone has such friends so they can alcohol as a gift is specially stupid idea.
someone who has problems with alcohol - yes, even among people in the 18-24 age group are the people who already drink a lot of / too often and giving them as a gift bottle of vodka is just not the most sensible idea.
And giving alcohol on the star seems to me a negative idea. As already do not really know what to buy someone pertaining to Christmas then give goodies, and no alcohol.
