This is some dumb shit to say, man.as the biggest alcoholic here..you shouldn't impose lame ass riules because your fiance can't control herself. i'm just saying.

sorry, but it's kinda lame to tell grown adults they can't drink because someone doesn't know their limit.
It is best for addicts not to have what they addicted too in the house. While it may not be hard to go to the liquor store, that is still another step they will have to take to fill their craving.Does your fiance have a habit of going into your sister's family's apartment? If she does and she's looking for booze, is it really any more difficult than going to a nearby liquor store?

Sounds like to me the OP fiance has taken the steps toward recovery, and she doesn't need the temptation of booze anywhere in the house. I'm siding with the OP and his fiance here and having support goes a long way.Jesus, is it really that hard to understand that people don't go into someone else's home for any fucking reason? I don't care if she's a drunk looking for booze or she's looking to rifle someone's purse for money. If she does that, you kick her the hell out of the damned house. (Oh, and you definitely don't marry her.)
Does the basement have it's own kitchen and bathroom? What are the market rates for 1800 square foot apartments where the OP lives?Well the OP has clearly made the decision to work through his fiance's issues so his sister's sweetheart rental deal is of secondary concern. It's his house and it doesn't sound like the basement is secured from the main house. It's not like he's telling some random tenant in a random property he owns hey you can't have alcohol in your home. She's getting cut-rate rent, the choice is keep booze out of my house or leave. Or I guess he could improve the space so it's completely separate from his house and jack up the rates to market and watch her leave anyway.
Yeah, the washer and dyer are in the basement. The alcohol needs to be removed. Addiction is an illness. People are in control of their actions, but addiction is a crazy mother fucker.
I like this approach as it will only help his wife in the long run, and helps his sister to stop and think if she has issues has well.Sounds like you have a lousy relative/shitty tenant problem to me.
It's your place.
What you are asking for is entirely reasonable given the situation.
They are putting their love of a buzz before your generosity and the health of a family member (then trying to use guilt on you).
Your wife may not be the only one with alcohol issues. If they're willing to piss and moan over something so easy, something that directly affects your family's health, well I wouldn't feel the least bit bad about giving them the 'my way or the highway' choice. You're not being the dick here. Don't like house rules? Don't be in the house. Pretty straight forward really.
