My oldest sister is a struggling alcoholic, my youngest sister is my matron of honor and is planning my bachelorette party. There is a dilemma on what we should do and where we should go for my bachelorette. I really wanted to go to Lake Tahoe for a weekend, but my youngest sister and cousin are not on board because of my eldest sisters drinking problem. I am actually really upset about this because I am only getting married once and I thought that this was supposed to be what I want. Being the middle child, I have always taken the back seat to my sisters. I thought for once I would have the spotlight. Any advice on how to handle this ??

Well, yes, it is YOUR wedding and YOUR happy time, but this is your sister whom I presume you love and care for.
Sounds like it would have been kinder had you not asked her to be a bridesmaid. Then you wouldn't have had to exclude her from your party and other events that include alcohol.
What are you going to do about the reception? Tell her she's not invited?

I'm sure there is plenty you could do in lake tahoe that doesn't involve alcohol.... are you wanting to go out but expecting your older sister not to drink? I don't think that's fair, but if you're planning to go to tahoe and do other activities i think that's fine
