[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am from a non-drinking family and my parents would absolutely want a guest to fill comfortable and if that includes alcohol so be it. Some of my other relatives feel differently. Your initial posts suggests the GF’s parents are more like mine.

I do think it’s weird to not be able to abstain for one meal, but again, I grew up with no alcohol being the norm so none of the reasons people say they “need” resonate with me.

Curious though - why are you polling stranger and not asking your son his thoughts.[/quote]

My take is that OP is spending the whole evening with them, dinner through midnight, so I don't think this is about abstaining for one meal. But agree the person she should be talking to is her son.

OP, ask your son to ask his GF what is appropriate: can you bring a bottle of something to share or should you abstain for the evening> You may learn that the hosts are plannign to serve something since it is NYE. I don't drink anymore but I would certainly plan to have something on hand for guests on NY.[/quote]
