Re: I don't know what to do...WWYD?
Here's my 2cents......It's you DH's birthday party. If he drinks and likes to drink serve alcohol, but if he isn't a drinker and wouldn't notice no booze then have a dry party. I understand trying to make it easier for family, but the reality is it's not up to you to make it easier. This is the begining of MANY struggles they will have. Making it easier doesn't help and it may backfire on you. How would you feel if people did leave because there was no booze? How would your dh feel? Right or wrong it's his party and every decision you make should be about how you can make this party special for him....and nobody else. JMHO  I know it s*cks. I have a LARGE group of family members that are recovering.

Re: I don't know what to do...WWYD?
After reading the whole thread, I have to lean with Meeshka (sp?) ESPECIALLY since she is a counselor.
If there is alcohol: Even if the person doesn't drink when they are at the party, I'm sure if they had a problem, they'd go find it afterwards. Just too tempting. This is the first thing that I thought.

Why don't you try asking the alcoholic him/her self?
He/She will know their comfort level and be able to tell you what they would be able to handle
i agree
you should tell the person i'm serving alcohol, i know you are having your issues, so if you dont want to come becuase of it i will understand, and we can plan something else another time with you.
you shouldnt have to change a party for a guest, if the party is not for the guest.

I personally WOULD NOT do this at this time, not so soon after. IMHO you're taking a chance of making your family member very uncomfortable. Again this is IMHO.
