[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You aren't wrong, but you need marriage counseling ASAP. You have a husband problem. Refusing to host an addict, however "harmless" others may perceive him to be is an appropriate choice.[/quote]

For those in the back, once again, OP never said her BIL is an addict, or an alcoholic.  Her definition of "excessive drinking" is "a few beers a day."  [/quote]
OK fine, let me revise:

You aren't wrong, but you need marriage counseling ASAP. You have a husband problem. Refusing to host someone whose substance use raises red flags for you, however "harmless" others may perceive him to be, is an appropriate choice

I enjoy a cocktail. I have stayed with friends who are recovering addicts, LDS, etc and don't want any alcohol in their home. This is not a problem for me. I don't NEED to have a cocktail. If OP is uncomfortable with BILs substance use for whatever reason, she has the right to say no in her own home and around her children. If he can't forego his beer then he needs to make other arrangements.
