[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Stop inviting them. 
-Stop going to the celebration where they’re going to be. 
-Tell the person that they ruin every holiday when they get drunk and pick fights and that’s why you’re not attending or not inviting them.

If you think there is an easy solution here, there isn’t. This person is allowed to continue with this behavior because you and others don’t do anything. Either cut them out or cut yourself out. Those are your choices. If you don’t want to do either of those, then you forfeit your right to be bothered by it because you’re enabling it.

OP: you’re totally right. I’m ready. I just need the words to use. And I’m not sure how to respond when she says that I’m wrong if nuts/or just don’t like her. She yells at her husband too when she drinks. Should I say something to him first?[/quote]

Step 1 is to get on the same page with your own husband.

(As I understand it, the alcoholic is the wife of your husband’s brother?) [/quote]
