You had a friend coming to mind your kids whom you suspect drinks too much or may drink while they're minding your kids ?

Nope. I'd find another babysitter.

Tbh, if you have those suspicions the liklihood is they'll bring their own

Are you kidding? No. I'd either find another babysitter or not go out.

ThreePointOneFourOneFiveNine · 29/09/2023 17:47

Definitely hide it.

HarrietStyles · 29/09/2023 18:10

I wouldn’t allow them to mind my children.

PennyForearm · 29/09/2023 18:11

No, but I wouldn’t have them minding my kids in the first place.

SymbolicSymbals · 29/09/2023 18:17

I probably wouldn’t have them babysitting in the first place…..

If you have to hide alcohol to stop someone drinking it while looking after children, that person should not be looking after your children.

You can hide alcohol if you want, but if they really are the kind of drinker who genuinely can't get through an evening with a drink they will almost certainly have had a drink before they even arrive anyway, and may also either bring their own booze or leave your kids alone to go out and get some once they realise they can't find any in your house.
