Of course, I'm assuming <em>your</em> guest room has walls that reach the ceiling and that you don't throw a fit if they still don't want to spend the night at your house on their anniversary even if the walls go all the way up.

I have wireless for them and try to provide all the beer they want as well as food and other "beverages" and I never ask them to carry out the trash! What else do I need to do?

Amazing how some cliche's are true, eh?

A really big gun. I'm certain that I came out ahead. Since alcohol is out on this trip to MIL land, how 'bout prescription medication? A combination of the diazepam and opiate families should do the trick rather nicely... I traded my Yamaha Wave Raider for a gun. A really big gun. I’m certain that I came out ahead.

Sheesh if she has a problem with alcohol that is her problem not yours! You sure you want to stay at the cabin with her? A motel or even a travel trailer sounds like a better idea. I lucked out with in laws and my folks they would want a libation of their choice too. MIL would want a Martini or Manhattan, my Mom would be happy with just about anything and Dad likes his Scotch and his Vodka neat. Try to have a good time maybe you can make a jug of Long Island Iced tea for you and jug of real iced tea for her... just a thought.
