We are not saying don't have a drink and you may have to have one after dealing with little junior who takes Riddelin because you can't control him. Anyone would surely need a drink after that episode. We are just saying to do it in your house or yard. I'd hate to see your little tradition go down if little Timmy got hit by a car or worse cut his damn foot off becuase of your beer bottle that you dropped. Oh the drama of being a mama.LOL
Hey Beatch-- read my entire post. I said I drank at the 'afte rparty' in a neighbors house and DH had one drink at the closed off-street block party. And-- I think the only one in need of medication is you. How about a 'wine enema' to loosen up?

The parents in my neighborhood got wasted and went streaking. Here I am at work, I think I'm still drunk. Luckily they are willing to pay me a $500K annual salary (plus significant bonus) and I don't have to be productive or actually do anything.
Party continues tonight...isn't it Day of the Dead or some shit? Whoo Hoo! DRINKS ON ME!!!!

I'm the bottoms up poster... just wanted to add that we're in Great Falls. I assure you that we are neither drunk nor tacky. One or two glasses of wine... no driving involved.

No of course not... they are drunk however after they leave your house party, have 3 more beers while walkikng around trick or treating. Oh and the after party.. that is where affairs happen and paternity tests are needed about 9 months later.

You realize that everyone who drinks isn't drunk, right? It's perfectly normal to have one glass of wine and stay sober. Even two over the course of a few hours while walking around outside.
This. Nobody in my crew was getting drunk. Not even close. And I think we're all way past worrying about whether we're cool. That ship has sailed. We're not.

! After roaming the streets with hoardes of kids, who doesn't need a stiff drink?
We have block parties--but the parents are not rip-roaring drunk beforehand. My DH had one beer. I had nothing....but the after-party at our neighbor's house some of the moms and I polished off a few bottles of wine.
Nobody's safety was at stake. You can relax. We even managed to make it to school on-time today.

We were there among the thousands of people, and it was a party! Beer and wine were flowing like crazy - it's a yearly Old Town Mardi Gras!

In my neighborghood which is a nice one here in Charlotte, that is all the rage. I think its stupid and won't let my kids near that. We trick or treat on our own. It looked like the drinking crew were having a blast. Their kids were having a great time until "I", the one who was not drinking, grabbed one of "THEIR" kids before he ran out into the street in front of a moving car. I don't think kids and drinking should mix, especially on one of the most dangerous nights of the year.

We are fancy people so we had wine in our plastic cups. We had a blast. Sorry OP, it sounds like you were to busy disapproving to have fun. If you lighten up, life is more fun.
