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.
Honestly it's just pearl clutching. The same people are probably sneaking wine at their 8 year olds little league game in the bubba 64 oz trucker travel tankard.
From people close the me, the ones that are MAGA/religious all were actually the most depraved ones when they were younger.
I don't know if they think of they have to make it up for those years to still be able to get to heaven or something.
Hiding it from kids obviously will prevent them from ever using it or being curious!
God forbid we have open and honest conversations with kids so they learn how to use things responsibly.
It's strange here in the US too. I don't know anyone that has a problem with that. That kind of puritanical attitude about drinking is not the prevailing sentiment here. Sure, my friends and I aren't getting plastered at BBQ's like we did in college, but it's not like we aren't having some beers at a cookout just because half of us have kids now. It's just a vocal religious minority making a lot of noise. Don't get me wrong, this country does have a different, more uptight, relationship with alcohol than Europe, but it's not nearly as extreme as it may appear online and in media.
They need to protect the children from alcohol and trans people because then they get shot at in schools.
Nah, my Catholic extended family always had a jug of Carlo Rossi (garbage wine sold in gallon jugs, for those lucky enough to be unfamiliar) at every family gathering. No one was ever worried about there being kids. Evangelicals are just lame.
Also Mexicans drink around their kids during social events all the time. It's a joke in my family that the only reason adults put on parties for their kids is so they can drink with their friends.
Bro it's perfectly normal for Americans to do this too...
I swear, the Twitter snowflakes want to use the lamest of dunks to own the Libs. Then they fail to realize that they might do this themselves.
Aww, who am I kidding. Twitter shills don't engage in family functions, or have kids for that matter.
Who leaves their wine glass on the floor next to excited kids? You’re almost guaranteed to be wiping up that puddle in ten minutes
This is the true crime in that photo.
Its also a glass of wine, not a jager bomb.
It could be a Jager bomb in a wine glass. The color looks about the same.
People also drink coffee while driving. It’s a depraved world out there.
Omg one time I was in line at a Subway (food) this dude started small talking about how it sucks because he's so hungry and he has to wait until he gets home to eat. I say, "why not just eat half while you drive?" he says, "what are you crazy?! You can't eat while you drive! You will crash!" and went on this tangent about not being able to eat or drink anything because you're driving.
Thanks for unleashing this random ass memory.
I wonder what Trump does when he's alone with underage girls
Take Viagra first?
Give wine to the underage girl?
one candidate must be perfectly immaculate and nit-picked on the smallest detail while the other can do and say what the fuck he wants
She drinks wine while playing with her niece. He steals from cancer patients. It all evens out. /s
She's having a glass of wine, not getting shit faced. What the fuck is this tweet?
Only psychopaths drink wine while playing games with kids. Normal people drink vodka with light ice in that scenario.
This is so irresponsible. I only smoke weed when playing with my kids.
I'm only the fun adult when I've had alcohol As in fun enough to play a game with a child and pretend it is a good time.
....And bitch like Republicans aren't the class of alcohol abuse..
The only thing weird with this photo is putting a glass of ~~wine~~ anything on the floor next to kids playing games. That glass will either be spilled or broken.
Yeah, this is wildly inappropriate. When I play board games with my kids, I find Old Fashioneds are the ideal way to deliver that numbing hit of booze. Wine requires too much fluid volume per unit alcohol, and the red varietals can stain your games.
Finland's former PM Sanna Marin was accused of taking drugs during a party...
The outrage should clearly be THAT SHE ISN'T USING A COASTER IT A TRAY AND THAT CHILD COULD EASILY KNOCK OVER THE WINE
ITT: people who apparently despise spending time with their kids so much, that they need to drink to enjoy it.
like WTF people...it's not an issue to have a glass of wine (or whatever) while spending time with your kids. But it's a fucking problem that you don't enjoy it without it.

Buddy, parents spend a lot of time with their kids, and kids are exhausting. You're just coming across as intensely judgemental of anyone who drinks to unwind.

You just invented a person to be mad at.
You will need to pop xan and pump a line up your snots to enjoy babysitting my nieces
Wonder how they'd feel about Bill Mahr getting smashed while sexually harassing children.
