[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would appreciate mimosas at a kid's party! Some people are judgmental about alcohol being anywhere in the vicinity of kids though. [/quote]

I think it's more judgement about serving alcohol to people who you know are driving away from your home with children in their car.[/quote]

oh bull.  you tryiing to tell me these people don't have a beer when they go out to dinner and then ... DRIVE HOME![/quote]

I think the differences are a couple:

At an all-class birthday party you don't know the drinking habits of the adults.  Someone previously said I assume all adults drink responsibly and don't drive drunk.  Why would you ever assume that?  Um, clearly people drive impaired all the time.  So no, I wouldn't feel comfortable serving booze over a multi-hour party to adults I don't even know and then having them drive home with their kids.

If people drink at dinner and then drive home, that is fully their choice.  In this scenario, you are serving them the alcohol.  No you wouldn't be held liable in most states if anything happened, but it's not great either.[/quote]
