[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can try the no-booze-in-the-house thing once and it'll probably trigger a meltdown or she'll go get some. The next time, she'll come prepared with her own stash. Trying to stop her from drinking is a really risky strategy. If it's a multi-day visit, she might go into withdrawal. If you're really going to not give her any and expect her to just cope, be prepared for emotional meltdowns, shakes, vomiting, etc. People love to ask "why can't you just stop for this special holiday weekend" and this is why-- because the withdrawal symptoms are equally socially unacceptable. So if you really aren't going to give her any, either she's going to find a way to get some or she's going to have "the flu" and need to go home or to the ER.[/quote] This. Alcoholics can die from alcohol withdrawl.[/quote]
