It never would have occurred to me to have adult drinks at a kid's birthday party. It sounds a little inappropriate to me, but if no one is getting drunk or driving impaired, I guess it doesn't really matter that much. I guess I just don’t come from a drinking family.

They last for hours, not just a couple. Oh, but our parties are food and drinks. They last for hours, not just a couple.

When your family and friends (adults) are around for the b-day parties, you have a tendency to drink those every so refreshing adult drinks...man I could use one right now. LOL I didn't really pay attention to the fact I don't drink when other's children are around with no additional adults; drinking doesn't even enter the picture...at least not until AFTER the party...when it is MUCH needed. teehee. Great blog and you are just too funny over there at wahm! I must say, I think you hit the nail on the head.

Put the glass down. “If there’s no way you can handle 2 hours without a cup or two of gin then go for it”

My brother is at the age where he would still have yearly parties and I don't foresee any beverages being passed around. Holidays-yes. Birthday parties- no. As for the debate- people have to do what they feel comfortable with. If there's no way you can handle 2 hours without a cup or two of gin then go for it. Just don't drive home with a bunch of kiddos in the backseat. I don’t ever remember my parents having drinks at any parties for me or my siblings.

We have now only have six parties a year since some have advanced to adulthood (amazing)and we still have drinks and at my brothers house four times a year we have a bondfire. One of his daughters is July 2 and we have drinks, bondfire and fireworks. We all have fun and the kids all play together. Of course, our holidays all with drinks as well. Um, I see a pattern. LOL. This is a great post and I would like to see other view points. My family has been celebrating birthdays for the young ones since 1981 and I do not recall never not having drinks.
