Learn2Live, I see what you're saying. I'm not really forcing him to detox though. Like I said there is a good chance he'll bring something with him, which I'm not going to try to monitor or control. There may or may not be a few beers in my fridge by that point, and liquor in our kitchen cabinet. There's even a nice wine store within walking distance of my house. If he really wants it he can get it, but I don't really want to hand it to him or drive him to the store to buy it...is that really a forced detox?
