English people frequently take bottles of drink with them to parties and give them to the host on arrival. They are then put with the other bottles for everybody to drink. A bottle of spirits or wine, or several bottles of beer are suitable. It is sometimes difficult to know what a real invitation is and what is not! If someone says «You really must come and see us one of these days», the best tactic is to reply «Thank you very much. I love meeting English people» and then wait to see whether a specific date is mentioned.
A: How about coming out for a drink with me this evening?
В: I'd like that very much. Thank you.
A: Shall we say round about eight?
В: Fine. Seе you then.
