How do I request that they drink less when they visit, without implying that they have a drinking problem?


How is this NOT a drinking problem? All day, every day? Asking them to stop is going to cause a fight? It sounds like they have a problem.


OP again- I think they do have a problem as everything revolves around them having access to beer and wine. But my entire inlaw family thinks their behavior is normal. They are even in a drinking club that travels to breweries and wineries a few times per year. I know if I even mentioned it, they would all jump on me.
