BYOB
abbreviation
- bring your own bottle: used on a party invitation to request that guests bring their own alcoholic drinks
(Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)

BYOB is an abbreviation for bring your own bottle. It is often used in invitations to parties at which the host or hostess will not be providing alcoholic beverages. Some restaurants also have BYOB policies if they do not have a liquor license or they choose to permit customers to bring their own beverages to be enjoyed with their meals. There are even some small cruise lines that offer BYOB policies.
Some restaurants operate as BYOB establishments because they cannot or do want to own a liquor license. As such, these restaurants allow patrons to bring their own liquor. The restaurants may charge a small fee, sometimes known as corkage (from the cork in a wine bottle). The fee is typically a few dollars per person and is intended to cover the cost of providing glasses and the service of opening bottles at the restaurant. For many patrons, a BYOB policy is an incentive to dine at a restaurant, as the cost of liquor at restaurants is usually significantly higher than the prices charged by retail stores.
