[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be chill about this, but then we had a fellow parent die of an overdose and another parent friend sent to prison for a DUI after 2 glasses of wine on a Friday night. The former was someone who always had a beautiful drinks table at his kids’ parties. He showed no signs of substance problems.

This was all within the last 9 months. I can’t see drinks at kids’ parties, “just a glass of wine” or any of that in the same way anymore. Please be careful.[/quote]

I'm so sorry.

There is a weird mix of "of course alcohol should be served so that parents can have fun and relax too after a hard week" and "no one is drinking at a kid birthday party to get buzzed or drunk."

Which is it? If the alcohol affects you, it affects you, right?[/quote]

Are you a child? Have you never drank before? You can drink one drink and feel relaxed but not buzzed and definitely not drunk. Also, if the party is a couple hours long as most are, the effects are completely gone by the end of the party. [/quote]
