[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less than I want to.  My in-laws are active alcoholics.  DH is over a decade in recovery.

So, at every family gathering, they pretend that they aren’t drinking even though they are clearly drunk and fooling no one with their coffee cups and plastic cups of “ice water.”  
However, because we are all keeping up with this bizarre, dysfunctional charade, no one ever offers me any alcohol, and they pretend they don’t have any if I ask.  Ughh...it drives me crazy.  [/quote]

They are probably just being cheap. My husband is a 20+ year recovering alcoholic, but I still drink and he actual likes it when I drink  I feel like my in-laws are cheap with their alcohol when I am around. It drives me crazy because when I have them over I make sure plenty of wine and other alcohol is available for them all night, whereas at their homes they have one bottle of wine out that is quickly finished very early by 3 families. After that, they sneak drinks amongst themselves. I find it very rude and uncomfortable.[/quote]
