Drink problem ?

[blue matt]

Ive certainly started drinking more, infact most nights, a bottle or 2 of corona ( or a beer to suit the meal we are having, i have a small collection of Indian, Chinese & Thai beers, mexican is catered for with corona, and coors for anything american it started out as a joke at the start of this, and had continued ) , I am normally out and about driving the girls around till 9.30 - 10 ish , so its nice to have a cold one and relax
twice a week my daughter opens her bar, she has occupied herself with running a cinema and a bar, next venture is a casino, amazon should be delivering our roulette table today, while i am sure people will frown at a 12yr old having fun making cocktails, its all about occupying her and not turning her into a alcoholic , she has done startbucks, Mc D's and a Thai streetfood place we eat at in Bath at home since lockdown

Each to their own and all that, but i wouldn't have my 12 year old pouring alcoholic drinks for me, just wouldn't feel right, bit like a child rolling fags for his or her father. Although it could work the other way and the fascination and intrigue that most kids have with alcohol at some point, might not surface.

she makes "mocktails " for her mum and sister, just vodka in them for me to be fair its a bit of fun for her and she will do one before the quiz tonight and one in the break, she has a shaker, umbrella's and stirrers

My 17yr daughter has seen me have a few drinks at BBQ's / camping or at disney, her friends have a drink, she might have 1 can of fruit cider or maybe a sminoff ice, but has never made a big thing of it ( though maybe thats partly her " performance healthy eating " thing she does ) we have never been big drinkers

Fair enough, they're your kids and you know best how to bring them up. Me and my mrs have always had this unwritten rule of no drinking in the house, or more to the point, no getting pissed up in front of the kids, I just don't think it's healthy for kids to see their parents drunk, although that's just my opinion.

My brother has bar in their garden and the kids love playing bar boy/girl and pouring out drinks, tend to get less stingey measures too.

fair enough, we are only talking about 2 cocktails, pretty sure my girls have never seen me drunk, as i said, in the old world i never really drank, maybe a BBQ or when camping used to have a few beers, when we all come to the football i might grab a pack of 3 bottles in ASDA for before the game, it numbs the pain sometimes

Fair enough mate, nothing wrong with a sensible drink, i just don't get it when you see parents pissed up with their kids. That's a problem in my opinion.

What’s the point of sensible drinking?

Might as well drink 2 cans of Diet Coke as two drink 2 Corona.

Glad I wasn't the only one who read that and thought it odd.

Roulette wheel to come as well.
