Be mindful of and respect the laws regarding alcohol consumption; they exist for a reason.
The definition of beer as a drug or a beverage is subjective.
Alcohol consumption does not need to be pushed towards greater acceptance; it is accepted, get used to it.
The influence of parents' behavior on their children is broader than simply setting an example to be imitated. If that were the case, adults would not drive cars, go to rated R movies, etc. The key is to talk to your children and instill an understanding of what are grown-up activities and what are anybody-activities. Do not always assume that what you are doing is what everybody should be doing.
For those do not drink, that is perfectly OK and I doubt anyone would criticize you for not attending or supporting this event, in much the same way that one shouldn't be criticized for not belonging to a religious organization.
For those who do enjoy good beer, please remember:
You will never know if you like good beer if you never try it.
It is entirely possible to go through life without drinking good beer, but it is not advisable.
It is not “normal” to drink cheap beer.
People who drink cheap beer are not cool, they have just adopted that label and marketed themselves as such.
Strong beer is often a good choice.
It is far more enjoyable to drink good beer than to drink cheap beer.
You can have a full, rich social life without cheap beer, but perhaps a slightly better one with good beer.
Always choose quality over quantity.
Enjoy what you enjoy in life, respect others, keep a good sense of humor, and stay safe.
