[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be kind of ticked off if my kid went to a friend's birthday party and all the adults were drinking wine and beer. It sets a bad example, too. I like wine (beer, not so much) but save it for the grownup parties.[/quote]

+1 exactly![/quote]

You'd be horrified to know when I grew up wine was served in the daytime, right in church. [/quote]

PP here. My church as well. But not for a kids' daytime birthday party. [/quote]

The point is, it's not a bad example for adults to drink alcohol, no matter what the context. The are grownups. Some anxious adults to better with an adult beverage in a social situation. It doesn't mean they are sloppy drunks. So OP, do exactly you what you want. Only the most irritating people would complain about not having at a child's birthday party. It's fine. [/quote]

Didn't say they are sloppy drunks; but if an adult can't get through a children's birthday party without an alcoholic beverage, that's a sad situation. It's supposed to be about the children. Perhaps the "anxious adults" should stay home.[/quote]
Wow, you must be nice.

What wasn't nice about that post? Making a comment that adults should be able to enjoy a kids' party without alcohol? Whatever.[/quote]

It wasn't nice because you made a judgmental assumption that any adults who chose an alcoholic beverage did so because they couldn't enjoy themselves without it.  Maybe they just preferred it, the same way they might choose cake instead of ice cream.  [/quote]
