[quote=Anonymous]It has happened before and if everybody else is drinking I'd rather be sober. I've seen children falling into the pool, I've ran in front of the bus to catch a toddler, etc. I don't care about drinking. It's not a sacrifice for me. And instead of criticism you should have gratitude that someone will be sober if a kid gets hurt and someone needs to jump behind the wheel.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're being rude and irrational. But for the sake of others who might be reading and didn't call me names I'll answer.

If you have a designated driver you're always good, no matter if it's at home or in a restaurant. In a party at friend's house, same thing, unless you're walking distance or using public transit.  (you seriously needed me to explain this to you?)

[b]What I don't get is this desperate need to have a drink everywhere you go[/b]. I've been either pregnant or nursing for the past 3 years and I do miss being able to take a sip here and there and te fact that I could not just drink whenever I wanted because of BF just took the thrill of it so I can certainly have fun without being buzzed.

[b]Don't get me wrong, block parties, neighborhood BBQs, pool parties are a lot of fun but I just can't trust others enough to be able to drink and relax myself in such settings. [/b]I prefer to have fun being sober. If there's a pool involved I NEVER drink. Call me all the names you want but the day another person saves your child from an accident you'll get what I mean.

My neighborhood used to have a Marguerita stand at the bus stop in our cul-de-sac every Friday. The last day was when I had to run in front of the bus to get the 2yo that wandered there while mom was refilling her red plastic cup.

And if you really think VA doesn't have an open container law for public places please read the link a few pages back. There are huge signs in a lot of parks saying alcohol is not allowed.

Please educate yourselves before parroting some random info you read while buzzed.

The bus driver was shaking. She said she never saw the little girl... she only stopped because she saw me running.

You're exaggerating. Again, this is not about a "desperate need" to drink "everywhere you go." This is about having a drink while walking around in your neighborhood on one night when there's a block-party like atmosphere. And I think there is something wrong when you are so uptight that you can't have a drink at a neighborhood bbq because others are also drinking. That sounds insane. What do you think will happen?[/quote][/quote]
