Yes, but the OP said her in-laws aren’t big drinkers.
Point taken…was more of a generality shouldn’t have attempted to hijack:flushed:
No worries!
I’m in the same boat, sometimes I like to have a drink with my drink before dinner. I however have no problems bringing a portable bar with me when I go to a byob. I drink vodka, my wife bourbon and sometimes a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal. Most byob’s that I frequent generally keep a bottle of sambucca (and other after dinner cordials) that they will provide a glass of when I order an espresso.
As they say: “There’s no shame in my game “

While some places may look the other way, isn’t it against the (silly/idiotic/arcane NJ) liquor law to bring hard alcohol into a byob?

I did make a half gallon jug of margaritas once when I went out for Mexican but I’m pretty sure the all seeing eye frowns on anything but beer/wine in NJ byos

Or drink Pepsi!!!
Correct. I’m not that blatant about it, I will pre-mix the vodka into a flavored seltzer bottle and bring that. My wife’s latest kick is peach bourbon and iced tea, so we pre-mix that etc. I tell the server to charge us for two beverages but to hold the beverage and just bring us 2 glasses of ice. This way they don’t feel like I’m affecting the check total/tips. (Yes only a few dollars etc but it makes me feel like I’m not taking advantage of anything lol)

Right. I get this side of it too. My mil might have a tequila sunrise (still not sure what that is ha!) and my fil would probably have a scotch but it isn’t a firm requirement either way.
