[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it was the bottle of wine (I would be concerned if I saw one adult, one teen, and a bottle of wine and hoped that the bartenders had it under control and wouldn't let you get wasted and drive). [/quote]

This was probably the reason[/quote]

Yeah, it might not make me blink an eye in a city where everyone walks, but if it's in a place where most people drive, it might concern me to see the only adult with a minor drinking a bottle of wine since no one knows how much of that bottle you're drinking.

Also to me it's a worrying sign that someone doesn't skip alcohol when the other person you're with can't drink. I'm not a teatotaller but I don't drink when I'm one-on-one with a child because it seems rude, among other things. After growing up with a parent with an alcohol problem, I empathize that it can feel uncomfortable for a kid to be with a parent drinking.[/quote]

Do you also skip eating meat when with a vegetarian? All dairy when you’re with a vegan?[/quote]

Sometimes. I certainly wouldn't order a rare steak when it to eat with a vegan friend who chose that diet for ethical reasons, the same way I'd skip the wine if I was out to dinner just me and a pregnant friend. I have a friend with celiac and recently also is dealing with lactose intolerance who misses pizza terribly, so I worked never order that when we go out together.

In a big group at a table all bets are off, but if there's just me and one other person, I try not to order anything that they couldn't or wouldn't have.[/quote]
