Jul 13, 2015 at 20:27 comment added Hot Licks I think in any situation like this you need to make clear whether you're taking the individual to their place or yours. You can't rely on the implications of "take" vs "bring" or any other linguistic subtlety. This is especially true where beer (or some other "adult beverage") is involved.
