[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a prime example of how DCUM today is not the DCUM of older days...weird.

Anyway, I notice my parents drink more than I do. They are waspy and have their little cocktail hour each evening. They're very rigid with routines. If I opt not to drink they are kind about it but clearly irked. They genuinely do not understand that some people don't want to drink (they way it feels, calories, have to work, prefer something else). It's strange. I get a little tense at 5:15 every time I visit knowing the "Are you having a drink tonight?" is coming. [/quote]

Me, on the other hand, LOVES this sort of hospitality. Visiting fun and gregarious family and in-laws is 100x better than visiting painfully boring family and in-laws.[/quote]

My in-laws manage to drink heavily without being fun, gregarious, or laid-back. It’s the worst of both worlds. My aunt and uncle who don’t drink but who don’t mind if anyone drinks around them and who do provide alcohol to guests are actually the most hilarious, casual, welcoming hosts in our entire family.
