Wine is acceptable, but only after you punched them, disavowed their identity, intentionally withheld education from them, made them carry their teenage pregnancy to term and ruined the planet for them. Then you can have wine. Be more republican!
Isn’t that a picture of kamala?
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
The only thing weird with this photo is putting a glass of
wineanything on the floor next to kids playing games. That glass will either be spilled or broken.This is so irresponsible. I only smoke weed when playing with my kids.
I blow the bong hit in their face. THIS IS A WINNERS HOUSEHOLD
You hear that coughing you’re making son? THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A FUCKING PUSSY.
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.
That’s alcohol abuse where I come from
Won’t someone think of the alcohol?
Fine, I’ll do it. Thinking about it now.
You mean the alcohol has rights?
It has the right to be ingested. By spilling it, it was denied that right.
almost makes me think that the kids in the photo are fake
I use similar glasses, and there are better odds that there would be apple juice in that glass than white wine. If so, it could even be the kids. I understand people fear kids around glass, but if the kids around it often, they probably don’t flail
Maybe. Our kids used glass practically since they could pick them up, but that’s different from setting them up for failure. No stemmed glasses and never on the floor … many adults can’t even handle those
Your right, they may have stems, I thought they were just the Walmart special you get for 1.50 a glass or as a group for cheap
I had people place some terrible limo mixed alcohol on a buffet table, with kids around. I had to explain to him, that it looking like something for kids, while having some 30% or so, is a very very bad idea.
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.
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.
I don’t know anyone in the US who feels this way.
I’m American, but Jewish. Wine is part of sabbath dinners. Especially during religious holidays. I was drinking wine at Passover seders when I was 8 or 9.
Amazingly, am not an alcoholic at 47. I do enjoy a small glass of port in the evening though.
Pretty normal in the u.s. as well. Usually when there is a large family gathering like a wedding.
They need to protect the children from alcohol and trans people because then they get shot at in schools.
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.
Given that alcohol is a hard drug with severe social and personal consequences when abused i find that sentiment a bit shortsighted. We rightfully don’t accept casual consumption of cocaine or heroin around children. We shouldn’t set the model that alcohol is just a casual thing to consume on any given afternoon.
Me and many friends as teenagers wen we got shitfaced in unhealthy and dangerous ways just laughed at our parents critizising us, because of how normalized their consumption was.
So between responsible consumption and casual consumption is a huge difference. Especially when there is small kids around, who might end up just drinking from the jar right in their reach.
We rightfully don’t accept casual consumption of cocaine or heroin around children.
Disingenuous bullshit - there is no such thing as “casual consumption of heroin.” You can’t use heroin without getting high, but you can absolutely drink alcohol without getting drunk.
Yeah, not drunk, just a little tipsy, its just to take the edge off, just to relax a bit…
You’re unironically putting alcohol on par with cocaine and heroin? You really missed your calling as a roller-pin-wielding prohibitionist by 100 years.
This is a generalization. Lots of American families of all backgrounds can have alcohol during family meals and social time.
People have drinks at birthday parties. At dinners. All of the above.
As an American, I don’t know that I really see this too much. For Halloween, it’s not uncommon for some houses to give those little shooters to parents. Obviously it’s not good to get sloshed at a kid’s birthday party, but I don’t think too many people put too much weight on a drink or too. Either that, or I don’t put much weight on it, because I’ll have a social beer at noon on a weekday if it feels right.
UK and Europe
You do realize the UK is part of Europe, right?
The britisch Isles are part of Europe.
Let’s have a trigger warning on that, please.
Cries in Brexit
The britisch Isles are part of Europe.
Not for the lack of trying!
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.
It does happen though. My wife’s grandmother was an alcohol abolitionist. We’re not talking the 1800s here, I’m not that old. She died in the 2000s. But she was super religious and was part of a temperance movement.
Anyway, once she died, the beer and wine started coming out at family gatherings and they have not turned into raucous affairs. The kids at the gatherings seem to be doing fine.
Playing with children can be pretty exhausting. My daughter loved her Lego pirate ship set and had me narrating the lives of ten swashbuckling sailors on the high seas every day. I needed to be on top form or she would catch my day to day continuity errors 😅
I remember a friend’s first child’s birthday.
Me and the mom killed a pony keg because no one else had the balls too.
I’m about that friend’s age now… man, she went hard. Gonna miss her. I couldn’t keep up now.
Edit: She’s alive and well, married with a gaggle of kids, we grew apart. Just miss those late summer nights where the only place we had to be was a shit retail job, and we could get stoned for that.
I wonder what Trump does when he’s alone with underage girls
Take Viagra first?
Give wine to the underage girl?
That helps air out the diaper a little.
She’s having a glass of wine, not getting shit faced. What the fuck is this tweet?
She’s black, it’s Obamas suit all over again
Ya… Some people have weird ideas about alcohol. Read a reddit post recently about someone complaining that their friends are constantly getting drunk around their kids. After extracting more details, the friends in question were drinking a couple of cans of beer over the course of like 5 hours…
Mfer how much do you weigh that you’re “getting drunk” off a couple of 5% cans of beer? Like 80 lbs? Or does OP not understand how blood alcohol levels work and they think a single drop of beer == shit faced. Smh.
How can you conclude either from that one photo?
Just give the kids apple juice instead of wine and then they can play too
I don’t drink alcohol.
But I do play games with my nieces and nephews.
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.
Dang how hard is driving for someone if they think drinking a drink while driving will make them crash?
I’m actually all for this. If you’re driving your #1 priority should be paying attention to the road, and any distraction should be avoided if possible.
The Germans had it right not having cup holders in their cars.
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.
Its also a glass of wine, not a jager bomb.
You’re clearly drinking wine wrong!
I bet it didn’t even come in a box
It could be a Jager bomb in a wine glass. The color looks about the same.
It might also be petrol. We will never know.
Or Apple cider vinegar for that matter
