wow! I didn’t realise this was an issue at all. sure I have a drink sometimes and sure my little girl will see mummy drinking wine, should I be skulking in the the bathroom whilst I do it?

Does that make it better?

I think not.

What’s that you say?

You could always not drink at all?

ha, ha and thrice ha. Not in this life sister! I am thinking this is more of an American thing, over here in Europe no one gives a rats ass, in fact they might look at you strange if you didn’t.

I know, lets not smoke in front of kids. That is illegal until you are 18 (to smoke) and 2nd hand smoke is bad for anyone. Or we could bitch about a glass of wine or bottle of beer at a neighborhood party. Too bad I can’t toss a few back at work. I think my life would be so much better.

You know, I grew up thinking my dad had the 24 hour stomach bug on several Sundays, but then, I was a kid, and now I am an adult and can make responsible decisions regardless of this example. My dad was young, and no it wasn’t the best, but I’m ok. The whole debate is just stupid. (i’m not calling your views stupid, just NBC)

I was actually raised watching my mom have a glass of wine at night. I think it really helped me get a feel for what responsible drinking is. I saw my parents make the right decisions with acohol, not abusing but enjoying, and it’s helped me to grow up and be a responsible drinker myself.

I didn’t know abotu all this scandal. Interesting. I was thinking about how I was raised around alcohol just the other day completely unrelated. Glad I’m not alone

(I think there’s nothing wrong with wanting to punch the check out girl.)

I so totally agree with you. All points. It’s mind-boggling to me that NBC even made this an issue.
