Why is food considered an important aspect of parties ???? Does this have anything to do with the basic necessity of survival ???? is it beause we consider food as our ultimate requirement that we cannot leave our time of enjoyment without food???

Uh, it's so the absorption of the liquor we are consuming into our blood stream is slowed down just a wee bit so we can have fun and not fall down drunk so stinking soon.

I have been to many a party without food. Actually, probably the 80% of the parties I have been to over the past decade have not included food. But I can recall grabbing fast food to eat almost everytime either during or after a party. Food is a great thing to have at a party because it satisfies cravings while drinking and keeps people at the party longer. It also helps absorb alcohol so people don't get completely wasted.

You can have a party w/o food but, it depends on the type of party... If it's just friends getting together watching tv or a movie it's ok to not have food but, better if you do.. If it's a reception or special event I would say have food... I went to the lamest wedding reception a few yrs. ago it was in the basement of a church and there was no food, just cookies and soda... I wanted to take my gift back...There was also a stereo with a disc changer that was the "entertainment".. I can tell you the marriage didnt' last very long !

Food is needed for 2 reasons one is it is a social function and eating is always a universally shared experience - the second is if you are serving alcohol it will slow the rate of absorption making the time more enjoyable.

Food brings people together..it's social..just like having a few drinks is social. Personally..I thinks it's socially inept not to have some sort of food when entertaining.

Make sure you tell your guests that...
I just went to a party w/o food and let me tell ya...not many people stayed long. In fact a group of us left early just to go eat....
Have someone else host the party!

First, it's a tradition. Second, if there is alcohol involved food helps curb people's aggression.
