[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the posters who thinks that this practice is strange. (I think I was on page 8 and started with "NP here.")

Responding to the "right time and place" questions-

Lots of right times, and lots of those include having children around.  I agree it's about drinking responsibly. For example,  I tend to think a parent/caregiver has to be especially vigilent with little ones (little toddlers ready to get into all sorts of trouble) and espeacially in certain venues (places with pools, huge crowds).  In those types of cases, either me or DH won't be indulging in alcohol.

Trust, I am not anti-alcohol. I just find it really strange that parents choose to drink while walking around with their kids trick-or-treating. I guess because the act of trick-or-treating is totally a kid thing.  Parents walk around/chaperone, but again, it's all about the kids knocking and saying "trick or treat."

It seems oddly selfish that parents choose not to refrain for this kid event- the actual trick or treating. Drink at the Halloween party before or after.....but come on, now, leave the alcohol at home for the walk around the neighborhood.   [/quote]
