[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand. A game is a couple of hours, you can’t last through that without a drink at a children’s event?

Or if you have a series of games, you should be hydrating because you will be outside for a long time and driving frequently.

That’s what I was thinking. I can imagine having some parents / players over after a game or tournament- but not being able to make it 2-3 hours without alcohol? That shocks me. I sure as heck wouldn’t be carpooling with those parents.

Do they think it’s cute or funny? It makes me think they are alcoholics. [/quote]

ITA!  There is no happy medium on any topic on this board.  On our kid's soccer team, the parents will usually plan for the nicest weather afternoon of each season to be a bit social.  Just the once and definitely in the interest of the families getting to know each other without having to plan another event.  It's fun and not gross nor sad.  But it's not 9am either.

Where do you get that people "can't make it" 2-3 hours? without alcohol?  That's a massive and unsupported inference.  [/quote]

The teetotalers on this board always do that. If you want to drink it must be because you're an out of control drunk. If you have one beer at a kids athletic event you're clearly an alcoholic guilty of child endangerment.

That's why no one offers anyone in this thread a thermos of sangria. [/quote][/quote]
