[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make up and temporary hair dye? No biggie.

Mocktails at a 13 year old's party? Were they mixed in shakers and served in cocktail glasses? That would definitely bother me. Frozen virgin pina coladas or strawberry daiquiris served in a plastic cup with a fun straw similar to a starbucks frappachino or a smoothie at a restaurant? Not a big deal.

I am generally conservative but am fine with adult drinking, host parties with alcohol and am not anti fun drinks for kids.[/quote]

Virgin frozen margaritas and pina coladas and a drink the bday girl created. All were frozen and served in plastic glasses (like plastic margarita and plastic colada glasses).

I think the mocktails are really what angered me most. I just see it as glamorizing drinking which I don’t believe in. There’s alcoholism on my side of the family so we’ve always discussed alcohol with them and the seriousness of it.  Most of this evening was spent talking about drinking and alcohol because she’s just absolutely enthralled with the mocktails.

LOL! I grew up Mormon.  We were not even allowed to drink COKE or anything with caffeine.  We definitely were not allowed to drink Mocktails, nor go to sleepovers at non-Mormon family homes.

Despite growing up mocktail free and caffeine free, this did not prevent my brother from becoming a raging alcoholic and dying of cirrhosis of the liver at age 35. Do you know how hard you have to work to die of cirrhosis of the liver at age 35? That is some serious work he had to put into being drunk.

I do think you are crazy.[/quote]
