[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 489701, member: 27"] Nancy, absolutely we are more attuned to all the alcohol consumption that goes on socially, and the fact that it is advertised and sold everywhere, because of being exposed to alcoholism in our homes. My son did fine at the reception without drinking. He was also in the wedding party so was on the party bus as they went from the church to different locations for photos. There was champagne and beer on the bus, but also lots of bottled water and some food. He seemed to be fine. My other son was also on the bus and said that difficult child seemed to handle it fine - even offering to help open the champagne bottles. At the reception, difficult child seemed busy just visiting with relatives and friends and said it didn't bother him - even though others were drinking. He's been seeing a young lady for a while now, and they seem to be in love. We went to her condo a while back, and I was stunned to see that she has wine and alcohol out. I asked the two of them about it and she said she hadn't thought about it, but then did ask difficult child and he said he was fine with it. Her mom is an alcoholic, but has been sober for 25 years, so she does know about AA. As difficult child said, if he wanted a drink, he could get one anytime. So, I guess it's up to the individual whether it bothers them or not. We will be celebrating Christmas here a few days early, as my daughter has to work Christmas Day. They all know that there won't be alcohol here. It's just our decision to keep our home alcohol free while difficult child is here. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
