[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if one of their kids got hurt during the game and had to the ER? You can't just sit there and get buzzed when anything could happen and you need to be clear-headed to react.[/quote]

It's comments like these that confuse me.

People can have one drink.  Or two drinks, over the course of a 2 hours game and be completely clear headed.

I don't drink at my kid's games, but I also think our attitude towards alcohol in this county is nuts.  A cold beer on a hot Saturday afternoon is not a problem.

Your kid might have to go to the ER when you're drinking that chardonnay on your back porch as well[/quote]

Exactly this. I don’t understand why so many people associate having one drink with being an alcoholic or as a coping mechanism for getting through a boring game. I stated previously that I once had a beer at a soccer game, I am neither am alcoholic (I actually drink very rarely) or bored at games. I’ve never seen anyone drunk at a game, obviously this would be a huge problem.

I get that some people disagree with it because it’s against rules and I think that is fair. But to pretend a person having a casual beer is the same as someone who drinks to excess all the time is silly.
