Thank God, no. Booze and holidays are pretty engrained in my family. Can't imagine the holidays without heavy drinking.

Put it in your drink. Just hide it, not that hard.

Surely you can survive one meal without alcohol OP.

I'm so glad my family isn't a bunch religious control freaks.

I bought two fifths of bourbon for tomorrow
We usually start drinking around 10. Light drinking until lunch.
The women drink tea, the men drink whiskey.

I don't NEED it.. But it would be nice to crack a beer and watch football there but that is not an option. I've never been able to drink in front of my parents and while at 27, my dad still thinks it's "bad parenting" letting your kids drink around them.. So this is what I'm dealing with....

We've never had a drink at thanksgiving and it's always turned out wonderful.

If you're 27 you shoudl realize by now it's not a big deal.
I drink heavily, fricking love drinking and do several times a week. My whole life my family has been very anti-alcohol and there hasn't been one single solitary family gathering in my 31 years that a drop of alcohol was present. But it's not an issue because it's just the way things are...I accept that for a few hours I'll just be forced to socialize and eat and watch TV with my family that I love and enjoy being around, then I'll go home and start drinking there.

With that way of thinking, you come to my house, all I have to drink is booze. Sorry Chief!
Now that I think about it, short of water, that may be exactly the case at my house.

unless you are dependent on them, reset that boundary. If you want a drink when you are around them, and they say no. GTFO.
Do that repeatedly. They will get the message. Once you stop being financially dependent on your parents, you have most of the power in that relationship. fricking use it. Its hard to grasp but it works.
My family drinks, so this isn't an issue. But if they didn't, I would just say frick it and have a drink myself. What are they going to do? Kick me out on tgiving? Yeah, that is going to work out well.

They do know Jesus was perfect right? And he turned water into wine so everyone could turn up?...They bible tells us to that drinking wine will make us happy...and is also good for helping your stomach.
My parents are the same way, but I sat them down and showed them scriptures of where it wasnt wrong. So bring a 6-pack and a bible..
Or get over it and go a day without drinking
