Perfect.
There is something to be said for evaluating this on a case-by-case basis. Although the same rules would apply, say, in my home, there might be a time where I might make an exception. If I had an alcoholic relative and decided I wasn't going to serve drinks (my choice, my home) then I would let other guests know that it was going to be a no-booze occasion and would likewise expect them to honor my request.
