Lock the booze up and don't serve to anyone. Does a family of all ages need alcohol (depressant) to have fun together? My grandparents were respectable hosts at family gatherings, and no one got drunk and behaved like idiots (wish I can say the same for the current generations of 20-60 year olds).

Let's see, if I read the article right it said the kids were underage and maybe wanted alcohol? If they are underage and drinking in your house and/or go out after drinking get pulled over and the cops find out you allowed them to drink, YOU go to jail

I agree that it's your home and your rules. Backed up by the state in which you live. You are indeed over thinking it. As to the photo issue if your boyfriend's parents had a good and loving relationship with her I don't see why they should remove the photo. Add yours perhaps, that would be sweet.

The alcohol thing, there is no reason you cant have a talk with mom or dad prior to. I would certainly just mention it. I have a relationship with my siblings (who dont allow their kids to drink) where we can be open about these things.
