My son's (19) counselors told us that for the first time home from rehab, it would be best not to serve alcohol around him.

My son has said that he doesn't care.

My husband drinks as usual around him. I usually don't drink when he's , but have had an occasional glass of wine with a meal. His sisters (22 and 24) usually choose not to drink when with him.

I expect that my relatives will drink as usual around him.

I have typically made a special pie that included vanilla and grand marnier in the whipped cream for it - last year I sweetened it with maple syrup instead. Nobody noticed it was "alcohol free" or specially for him, so it was no big deal.
