My sister is hosting a game night tomorrow which will include 6 people (sister, brother in law, mom, dad, my husband, me). She texted me and said they’re not sharing alcohol so it’s BYOB and we have to pitch in to buy food. I personally think that’s rude. It’s respectful to bring something, like a bottle of wine, but I don’t think it should be required. I’m just not going to drink, which is fine, but the principle of it bothers me.

Edit: I don’t drink much and my sister knows that. I’ll have maybe 2 beers. Plus my sister and BIL have a kegerator which I know they can stock with cheap beer and they have in the past. Maybe I’d feel differently about another person’s house, but it feels especially petty because it’s my sister. Also, we all have to drive 1.5 hours to get there FWIW.

Another edit: I put this in the comments, but the exact text from my sister was “tomorrow is BYOB. We ain’t sharing.” That’s the especially rude part to me.
