 My BIL and his wife often host family parties, but they don't drink. (We offer to host as well, but certain holidays they have "claimed.") Most times, this is not a big deal. But on some holidays, like Christmas, it's nice to have some alcohol.

So last year, which had a lot of family drama in it,  we sneaked in a flask of alcohol and shared it in the library when the rest of the family was off doing something else.  It was fun...had a sense of danger to it, and made the rest of the evening much more fun.

Yes, it's horrible, you should respect their wishes, whatever.

Anybody else??[/quote]

My aunt doesn't allow alcohol in her home (XH was a violent drunk, one of her adult kids is bipolar and shouldn't drink). Every holiday she hosts, her son and one son-in-law share a flask outside at half-time. Worse, they force the rest of us to cover for them. I do drink, but respect her wishes as it is one day. If you can't stay away from alcohol for a few hours, "pre-game" in your own home or at a bar before coming to the relative's.[/quote]
