I was on medication for a bit and was not allowed to drink. I wouldn't have dreamed of asking people not to drink in front of me. Was it hard not to drink? Yes, but it was *my* issue not theirs.
If there are non-drinkers present, I do not think that people should abstain. In the case of the Muslim brother... the sister is correct. The brother isn't preparing his children very well. Isolation from reality is just encouraging ignorance. I also think your family, in trying to be considerate, made a situation that was going to be just fine... very awkward and inconsiderate.
