If they're pissed about your removing the alcohol it sounds like they might have an alcoholism problem.
Seriously, why the hell would you keep alcohol around where it's easily accessible by children AND when you're living under someone else's household and their rules. Plain stupidity on your sister's part from your side of the story

I thought about calling it out but just decided "I don't know what the kids these days call it" and let it slide. Urban Dictionary says its a rum and coke.
Truly on topic, I'm probably the last person you want to take moral advice from. I pretty much stole and married the girlfriend of one my best friends.
It's as simple as someone else put it "They don't pay the mortgage, they don't make the rules"! personal wants or beliefs are irrelevant your sister was asked by the owner of the home not to bring it into the house.
Your sister and your brother in-law are both adults (with children), if they want to set their own rules they need to go get their own house.
Morally it probably wasn't your place to involve yourself, but you aren't wrong either. To clarify, i would have confronted your sister before telling your dad.

No you keep beer in a fridge, you keep medication in the medicine cabinet where they both belong. watching two children is not a challenge if your not incompetent. You say you don't need to defend your actions but you are certainly trying to justify them and complaining about the ramifications of them.
There was nothing really all too 'moral' about what you did, seems this altercation was mainly due to your Sister and her man. House rules say 'No Booze allowed', so be it. Don't bring that shit into the house. You knew what the deal was, you accept the consequences. Plus her being your sibling, she knew what she was getting into.
Times are tough for most everyone recently, but taking in the burden of 4 people into your home shows how upstanding your father is, not following a simple rule shows how stupid your sister and her husband are.
I know this may sound awefuly insensitive and perhaps kind of gross, but here's my point of view:
think about your sister. now ask yourself these questions:
- were you best friends?
- were you in love with her?
- did you want to take her to bed?
now think about your brother in law and ask yourself the same questions.
if all those 6 answers were "no", than just chill and relax. you didn't lose a friend, you didn't screw your chances with the person you love up and you didn't lose a chance to get laid. I myself don't believe in "bonds of blood". IMO sharing relatives with someone shouldn't make this person special.
your brother in law won't kill you over booze. he might attempt some other sort of revenge, but than all you gotta do is to stay alert and report anything he may try to do to your parents or the police lol
now, if any of those answers was "yes", than apologize. that doesn't always mean you are wrong, you know. it may also mean you value your relashionship more than your pride.
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
Holleeeeey. He sounds like a real winner. I wouldn't hang out with him either. You must have an incredible amount of patience to have put up with that for as long as you did.
You are being trolled. There is no other logical explanation.
I was considering commenting on this as well. I thought it was cute. It definitely shows that the OP doesn't drink and has never been exposed to it. Not a bad thing, just sayin =D <3
The only time I've heard it is when Rum & Coke is being horribly slurred because the person's had more than a few already.
The mini fridge was on the floor, in their living room right by the couch. It wasn't like I left the baby to wonder the house unattended. I was in the same room with them, I didn't think there was anything in there begin with, I wasn't even aware that it was plugged in until she started taking the bottles out.

i would expect the parents to be more upset that their child got ahold of alcohol...
As it has been said a few times if the head(s) of the household set down a rule you either live by it or live somewhere else it's just respectful. I don't care if it's religious, political or even paranoid they pay the bills they set the rules. Obviously, since you feel the same way as your parents it's understandable why you did what you did, but I would have confronted them first about A) being more responsible with the kids and B) respecting the (i'm guessing) few rules set forth for them while they live there

I know, when I briefly talked to my brother-in-law, he was more concerned that I "was passing judgement on him as a parent" than the fact that his youngest daughter got into their beer. When I pointed it out, he just said I wasn't watching her close enough. Same with my sister. They were more upset about that I got rid of their beer and got dad involved.
