[quote=Anonymous]You're missing the point. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a legal drug responsibly complying with the law. Everybody who took their open containers in a public place were breakig the law and thanks heaven nothing happened but I wonder what the headlines would be if any of those kids were hit by a car because mom or dad were too slow pulling them back to the sidewalk. You all drinking on the streets are guilty of public intoxication and this is gross. There's a time and place for enjoying alcohol and out on the streets while watching children is not it.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to think some of these posts are jokes.  Nobody could possibly care about adults enjoying a glass of wine or a bottle of beer amongst friends while walking around together for an hour.  It is entirely appropriate and a great example of fellowship.  Glad to see some parents/neighbors out there making friends and being social.[/quote]

Do you[b] need [/b]alcohol for this? What a shame![/quote]

I'm not the poster, but of course not.  But you are missing the point.  Many (most?) of us just simply don't see any harm.  There is NO difference in my behavior if I am carrying a red cup around, drinking water, or carrying a red cup around, drinking wine.  Seriously.  Makes. No. Difference.

This whole notion of never drinking around or in front of your children or while your children are sleeping is nonsense.  I am an adult. I know how to drink responsibly.  I don't place undue importance on something this trivial.  I quite honestly question the sanity (and yes, the parenting) of people who are soo crazy, judgmental, cut and dry about something like having ONE glass of wine around your children.  I think YOUR children will honestly have the problems b/c your attitude toward something like this speaks volumes about you as a person and as a parent.[/quote][/quote]
