Being consistant is important. Let your family know from the begining that you do not want alcohol in your home. It may be difficult at first, but they will respect you in the end, and it will be worth it. You and your family will be blessed by being good examples. Don't worry if your brother does things differently, that is between him and his wife, and this is between you and your husband and the Lord.
Also think about how this could affect children, whether or not there are children now. Children are very impressionable by what they see. They notice more than you think.
