Sure, if he's a "happy" drunk it's fun, but more often than not when people get out of the "buzzed" zone it's all downhill. If he's just an acquaintance, don't even invite him. If he's a close friend, let him know that you want him to take it easy beforehand(A real friend will understand this). If he goes against this and powers up to super emo/asshole/general fuckwit status, it could kill the mood at a smaller scale fiesta and before you know it, everyone left because they got way too uncomfortable. Also, be a good friend and make sure to isolate him/make sure he's taken care of properly after taking numerous photos as negative reinforcement.

It's almost like you feel guilty ending it early if people have nothing else to do, and especially if they have nowhere else to go (like maybe they can't get home and want to sleep the night at your place, but don't actually want to feel like they are imposing). So drawing a line can be a pretty tough thing to do. I’ve never hosted a party, but I know from running a movie viewing thing that it does get pretty boring staying around until no time limit.
