[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Military officer dad, mid-1970s. My parents threw "work" parties once a month at our house.  Free flowing booze and mixed drinks served all night.  Dad's single brother was hired as bartender and he'd work behind the built in bar all night long.  No sitters, just all three of us kids in the downstairs bedroom with a black and white portable tv.  Oldest sister was the babysitter who'd escort us to the bathroom and fetch us sodas from our uncle.

I never could go to sleep.  House too smoky and loud and parties would run into the early morning hours.  Coffee would begin brewing around 11 and doled out to "sober up" the drunks who'd soon be driving home.  If you refused coffee, you'd be offered "one for the road."

The party was over once the last guest left and mom began dumping out ashtrays.[/quote]

Oh my gosh.  I am sure my parents were at your parties.  I remember when my dad's entire squadron was in town.  (He was a Navy pilot.)  My mom would bring out the crystal, have plated dinners for 15 scotch soaked men. Cigars and cigarettes everywhere.  Irish coffee [b]at 2 am so people could drive home. [/b] What the hell?

She always hired a sitter, and one time they found me in a corner at age 6 with a black ring around my mouth.  I had eaten the entire plate of caviar my mom put out.[/quote]

This doesnt surprise me. My parents are in their 60s and say they used to drive drunk all the time, it wasnt "bad back then"[/quote]

Don't you love that excuse? My dad says that all the time. It wasn't that it wasn't bad, but rather there were few, if any, penalties. [/quote]
