Joe Duckman, Istill don't think you get it.
I would like to take your quote above to illustrate what I am trying to say by adding a few words to the end of the sentence. Perhaps if you modify it and read it a few times you might see why having a beer after an event is NOT a bad example to those <21 - even though it is before you drive home.
Please re-read your quote above with the words "
drinking RESPONSIBLY and in moderation, realizing NOBODY is endorsing drivng at, near ... or over ... the legal limit" appended after the word "folks" but before the period.
Again... .demonstrating an adult approach to drinking a beer in front of minors is NOT a bad example - it is the very best example !!!! ...... AND again ...... all of us recognize that drunk driving is a choice ...... (a very bad one) ...... not an accident."
