[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think it is all perspective.

Like I said, I view margaritas as a "party" drink, of the clicking glasses, dance on the table, tequila drunk type of drink. So my kid telling me they celebrated with fake margaritas would bother me. Martini glasses are kind of the same thing. Kids frozen virgin drinks get served in all kinds of fun glasses, but the only thing ever served in martini glasses are alcohol martinis. It is a perception thing to me. I would get bothered by rootbeer served in a beer bong, but not inna frosted mug or glass bottle. The beer bong sends a clear message, where rootbeer in a mug does not send any message.

That said, I would be bothered by those two things (margaritas and certain glasses/presentations) but would not make a big deal of it.

And as I said in my original post, I am not anti alcohol, serve alcohol in my home, and host fun parties with themed drinks. I also have no issues with my kids getting virgin drinks in restaurants or having fun mixed juice/soda water drinks at home in fancy glasses like hurricanes.

SMH.  You think of margaritas and dancing on the table.  Me, whenever I smell Fanta Orange or Sunkist, I think of sloe gin and getting trashed as a high school student while visiting Ball State University. That doesn't mean I get my knickers in a knot when my kids want orange flavored drinks.

I'm also SMH that you are equating a beer bong with a martini glass. Seriously?  Do you also avoid talking about sex and drugs with your kids?  How do you feel about kids eating bananas?  :roll:
