[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling them virgin drinks implies they are alcoholic beverages with the alcohol left out. In reality, yes hey are just smoothies but the use of language and cups is playing at drinking alcohol. And yes, pretending to smoke or drink isn't all that atypical for teens but I find it odd for an adult to promote it. Same as if they gave them virgin cannabis or Virginia cigarettes - just for fun with no actual pot or tobacco in them, they could just pretend. Kids get into that stuff enough on their own without parents making it a fun activity.[/quote]

Puh-lease.  This is ridiculous.  Drinking out of fancy cup is fun.  We've always done it with our kids (I even made 'jeweled' cups for an Indiana Jones themed birthday party) and calling a drink 'virgin' in no way pretending to drink an alcoholic beverage.  It's ironic, though, that OP is a dance mom.  Have you seen how suggestive some of those dance moves are and how skimpy the outfits? Yet, she's worried about hair color that washes out, make up and non-alcoholic party drinks served in fancy cups.   :roll: [/quote]
