Hi just picked up on this so sorry if it's no longer helpful. I know what it's like having to live with this, growing up my dad would always come home drunk and cause a row over nothing, and that continued for many years. My ex wife was the same, her mum was a binge drinker and got very angry quite quickly, to the extent I'd actually be concerned for her and others safety. And when my ex drunk she got to the same, very load and also on a number of occasions flirty with guys right in front of me, again I worried if she got drunk without me what would she do.
It's a very difficult subject to deal with especially if you don't drink much, or at all. You get accused of spoiling things even though you can see what happens when they do drink too much, and they think they are acting normal. So yes you do have to tread carefully and sometimes it does seem easier not to say anything. I'm glad to hear Xmas was a good day, it's funny how people feel the need to drink to have a good time, yet you can have just as much fun with little or no alcohol at all.
All you can do is be there for your sister, and trust that she's learnt from her addictions, although if she was an alcoholic it's unlikely she will be able to be ok just having one glass, it has to be none at all. Good luck hope it works out .
