Is it necessary to attend an event where you would not normally expect alcohol when you are with your children?
Sorry, but I'm having a difficult time unwinding many of your statements. Is a Beer Tasting event "an event where you would not normally expect alcohol"? Or did you include the word "not" by accident?
I also need to ask: Why are you making this event into something where parents will bring their children? Where is this even stated? In your original reply, you said "I am very aware that children in the community do in fact look up to their parents, teachers, coaches, scout leaders and other adults in the community." Ok, fine, good point, but what does this have to do with adults going to a Beer Tasting to which children are not invited or allowed?
In all of this event's advertising, it's pretty clear that this is an adult-only event. For example, here's a statement copied directly from the event's website: "Please make sure you bring positive ID the day of the event. All guests will be asked to provide their ID at the gate."
If I'm reading that correctly, it seems to me that those under the age of 21 are not allowed. In fact, I will be happy to follow up and report -- honestly -- if children were present at the event.
Unless you are advocating some sort of modern-day temperance movement, the question still stands: If adults choose to go to a beer tasting event that is closed to children, how is this a children's issue?
