If they agree to your rules of "no drinking" then I don't see a problem. However, if they're going to go against your rules of no drinking, then I would not have it at your house. It's your house, your rules, and your reasoning against heavy drinking is biblical and a wise Christian decision. If they cannot respect that, then they should have it at one of their houses.

I agree with Storm King. There is no Biblical reason for you to feel obligated or pressured into allowing that type of behavior in your home.

If your family is aware of your Christian values, then they should respect your wishes. If they choose not do to that, then that puts the issue on them and not you.

Obey God and leave the results up to HIM. Always and every time.

Peace in Christ

Thank you everyone. I'm going to let them know that I don't want anyone to drink. I know they're going to be upset. They already hardly ever visit me because of my beliefs and how I live. so I know I just need to remember who it is I really need to please and thats God of course!
