[quote=Anonymous]My FIL and his wife use "cocktail hour" (they're in their 80s) and, having grown up with it, my DH does too. I don't mind it and we have a bar so when they are here we always have what they like. It's not "binge drinking" but a drink or two while making/eating dinner. Luckily, none of our parent have EVERY come to stay for 6 days. WTF? But by then, I'd tell them "bar's downstairs" and I'd be ordering takeout. Once the 26th rolls around, unless there is some sort of delayed holiday meal or something special happening, the holiday hosting expectations are done. [/quote]
