[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a similar thing OP.  We did our first all-class party for my DS's 5th.  It was afternoon (3-5pm) and we had juiceboxes for the kids and beer and wine for adults.  No one touched the beer and wine (I think maybe one dad had a beer).  Prior to this, our kids' bday parties had been with our friends and their kids of various ages so we would always have drinks, but that's definitely not the norm for these school parties.  I felt a little self-conscious about it (like you!)[/quote]

Thanks! Same with our friends.

You know, I bet you're right--its also just comfort level with the folks around you. I know that a lot of parents (understandably, given how judge-y everyone is) never want to do something others might look down on. So perhaps most people would have had a drink at a close friends' house, but just didn't want to be "that parent" who goes for the mimosas first :)

May explain the sheepish looks on the faces of those who did grab a mimosa. And the one dad who grabbed a beer. [/quote]
