One of the problems we had there was that everything was scarce and hard to come by except wine. Everyone wanted to serve it to us and everyone brought some when they visited. We could not, of course, partake, but our challenge was in saying "no" and risk hurting their feelings.
They are very proud to be able to offer us anything. So, we never drank when offered at a gathering, and we accepted the bottles when they came to us. We hid them under the sink so they never knew.
We could not poor them down the drain, as the plumbing and drainage was so poor. They would have definitely smelled it. We couldn't put it in the trash, because they would see it when we all put our rubbish at the curb.
We finally had a solution. We took our fine collection in brown paper grocery bags to the dumpster at the housing factory site a few at a time and that took care of that.
