Tell the old folks to get bent. If you want to drink, drink. If they let you having a beer ruin their day, not your fault.
ETA: At the end of the day, after you've drank responsibly and lightning didn't strike the house, they should see that it's really no big deal.

Nothing a flask can't fix.

Geez man. It is one day at a house and meal you don't pay for. You might have a drinking problem.
If that's the case then I would just buy all the food so I could drink

Or alternatively.
Geez man. It is one day where you welcome friends and family into a house and feed them. If you enforce no drinking, you might have a control problem.

If it's at your house, you set the rules. If it's at someone else's house, you respect their rules or you make other plans.

it kind of is, if it's their house and they ask you not to.
people who have never had to deal with this will never understand... and that's ok too.

Sounds like the OP has a drinking problem. Heaven forbid you go without alcohol for a couple of hours. Ohhh the horror.

I don't know about "super religious", but my family is all somewhat active in the Church.
3 uncles own liquor stores and we will go through a lot of wine and beer.
Being Catholic has it privileges.

No, my family is Catholic. If anything, they'll all get too drunk to cook the food.

There's nothing I'd rather drink all day than iced tea and coffee. It's not the end of the world.

Bible says Jesus turned water into wine.
I know who I'm going with!

Bring some of the Duck Commander wine, and maybe they'll let you slide.

I never got down with that. My ex wife's sister married a super Christian and neither drink now. We always would drink in front of them even tho they clearly disapproved. I never understood why people have to push their dumb beliefs on others.
this doesn't really apply to the OP. He's going to someone else's household, it's just common courtesy to abide by house rules. If the family doesn't want alcohol, it's not a big deal to respect their wishes for a couple hours. If not drinking is such a tremendous issue, he can go somewhere else for thanksgiving. Simple as that.

Drink outside if you must.

Put it in a cup. Don't make a big deal out of it. Common sense.
