MODERATORS
This is particularly American sensibility about not drinking alcohol casually around children. It's very strange. In the UK and Europe, if a kid is having a birthday party at their house it's completely normal for the adults to be having a casual beer or wine and socialising whilst the children play, obviously not drinking to get drunk and within the legal limits for the driver.
I come from Germany and drinking around children is normal here, and it's legal for children to start drinking at 14 years old.
However, just because it's considered normal doesn't mean it's a good thing, alcohol gets played down way too much in our society, it's one of the most dangerous and addictive drugs on the planet
