>People that hate my alcohol-inspired cooking on principle

I'm not an alcoholic. I drink two times a year, all of which are appropriate when you consider the circumstances.

>Fourth of July: My chili requires beer. My family is intolerable. My friends, doubly so.
>Thanksgiving: My turkey will sit in the oven for a long time. My family has traveled from far away to annoy me. There are children everywhere and my uncle brings wine.

Other events where I've drank and cooked have been smashing successes, up until they hear that a shot of rum helped things along.

I understand that they care, but there isn't a problem here until they make it a problem.
