Assuming that this place is much preferred to other options, and that having to “sneak” it wouldn’t harsh your buzz, I would just bring the alcohol. I would not try to shoehorn some abstract, ethical rationalization into the situation: I want to bring it, no one is going to be harmed, so I’m going to bring it. (Ok, that’s an [abstract ethical position](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism) of sorts, but you know what I mean.) ---

I’d probably politely cancel and explain that a civilised alcoholic toast (enjoyed in moderation) is an immutable part of your anniversary tradition and perhaps they might want to clarify the no alcohol rule on the website to avoid future misunderstandings. There are some events in life that, IMHO, almost do _require_ an alcoholic drink (unless you teetotal for whatever reason). As a personal example, a couple of years ago I managed to get some money together to take my wife to Disneyland for her birthday. And after turning on the charm and playing up the Friendly Aussie act, I managed to get reservations (at short notice) at the Blue Bayou restaurant on her birthday night. And we had the most wonderful food- it was outstanding- but Disneyland is dry, so we were eating lobster and filet mignon accompanied by a non-vintage Coca-Cola. It was just… not quite right. A meal that nice, and on a special occasion, really needed a nice wine. But we knew Disneyland was dry up-front, so we kept a nice bottle of wine in our hotel room for when we returned after the park closed, so it all worked out. The point is that Disneyland are up-front about their “No Grog” policy, and this B&B should be too- because a special occasion like a wedding anniversary really does need an alcoholic beverage for the toast, IMHO, and if their policy is going to nobble that, then you should be able to take your business somewhere more accommodating for your plans. ---

I fail to see how this is any different from the earlier thread where almost everyone agreed it was okay to sneak food into the movies. On the other hand, I would do neither. And I hate alcohol. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I fail to see how this is any different from the earlier thread where almost everyone agreed it was okay to sneak food into the movies. > > On the other hand, I would do neither. And I hate alcohol. You know, I never even thought of that comparison. And while I’m sure it’s true that _you_ would do neither, we sneak food into the movies all the time. We also sneaked vanilla vodka into a rock concert a few years back. It was being held at the local fair grounds, and beer was being sold all over the place, but the hubby doesn’t like beer _at all_, and I have stomach issues which make it _very_ difficult for me to drink more than say 6oz of beer in the course of an hour. So we discreetly put some vodka in a small water bottle, bought a Diet Coke at the concession, and enjoyed the concert. (In fact, hubby enjoyed the concert _so much_ he had to ask _me_ to drive home! 😉 ). All this, of course, means that one or the other of us _does_ get drunk from time to time. But not when we go away to celebrate a special occasion like our anniversary. For us, good drink, like good food, enhances the occasion. ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > Everyone who thinks that forbidding alcohol is unreasonable – would you make the same argument about the no smoking rule? Yeah, smoking stinks up a place, but so do spilled drinks and vomit, not to mention possible liability issues. Nobody defends smokers – why do drinkers get a pass? I don’t know that any (certainly not many) do think that forbidding alcohol is unreasonable - we think that forbidding alcohol but not stating that fact up-front is unreasonable. But your comparisons are flawed. Smoking “done properly” still stinks up the place. Drinking “done properly” does not result in spilages, vomit or actions likely to cause liability issues. ---

My point is, give the lady one more chance before you make your decision, and ask if she could make an exception since it’s your anniversary, and you’ll only be having a single drink. It couldn’t hurt to ask, then if she says ‘No’ you can tell her you’re disappointed but it’s important to you, and that you’ll have to find other accommodations. \*Something very similar to this happened to me. A group of us were going to stay at a bed & breakfast type place. They have a strict no-alcohol policy. We assured them that we wouldn’t get out of hand, and in our case, asked it would be alright if we brought beer. They relented, and we’ve been back 3 more times over the last few years. Each time they say there’s a no alcohol policy, but they soften up a bit when we talk to them and let them know we’re ‘good’ people… not the Sales group that was in there and trashed the place in drunken revelry. ---

I mean, isn’t getting trashed at hotels for college kids on Spring Break, and sleeping 8 to a room in a Holiday Inn to make it cheaper? ---

Is always wanting snacks a problem on this level? And come on, this “social situation” is an anniversary. Not “oh it’s been 4.652 years since I bought my favorite pair of pants, let’s get wasted in honor of that!” I like drinking. I don’t do it to the point where I can feel it all that often, but even if I did, I don’t have to defend that to you. You come in this thread looking down on everyone who agrees with the OP that it’s fine to have a yearly tradition that involves a glass of alcohol. And that breaking the rules won’t really harm anyone. You’ve never broken a rule? I really don’t believe you don’t have any deeper alcohol-related issues. I know plenty of simple “non drinkers” and they never, ever act holier than thou the way you are.

Heh. I’ve never been to a B&B that didn’t either enthusiastically point out the various local wineries and breweries, serve wine, or contain a restaurant that served alcohol. The idea of a B&B _not_ allowing alcohol is completely foreign to my experience, which is why I am suspicious that the B&B not listing the policy on the website was deceptive rather than an oversight. Before reading this thread, it never would have even occurred to me that it might be a problem. I have a hard time believing that the place doesn’t know that many potential customers would think similarly. ---

I’m going to open a B&B that requires guests to drink alcohol and smoke, but not announce it on the website.
