A sipping party is a social gathering wherein the goal is for adults to gather together for fun and to imbibe varying forms of
beer, wine, and/or liquors they have not tried before. The host or hostess provides a small variety of drinks and location, foods, maybe games/entertainment/
music/conversation topics. Each guest brings one or
two forms of drinks. The drink
may be something they have never tried, something that sparked their interest or an old favorite they want to share with their
friends. This is a responsible and positive environment in which conversation and merriment is more the goal than becoming intoxicated.
Side note: The first official sipping party was attended by a group of high school teachers in Tucson, Arizona in the fall of
2012.
