The kids and I once stayed with my parents for a weekend when I was several years sober and I suddenly realized at some point that I was fixating on a half-empty bottle of Vodka in their freezer - in THEIR house mind you. I called my sponsor and he told me I already knew what I should do, and he was right. I went straight in and asked them if they would get rid of it. Knowing I'm an alcoholic and loving me, they said "of course!" Anyone who isn't an active alcoholic and cares about you will understand. I'm sure your boyfriend will respect your request. For me having alcohol just laying around is like leaving a loaded gun out in the kid's room - really nothing good can come of it...
