    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.

      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.

      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.
