Is the dad ex-mo?

Don't know, don't care. Just wanting perspective from people that don't care so

The problem is the booze is flowing freely over there, I don't care how mentally

That's not an extreme amount of alcohol consumption unless it's a high point

Yeah, I'm not really worried about the amount. Seems more than what my

If he's not paying attention he essentially is offering the kid a beer

Depends on how my son reacted. But would tell the Dad he was out of line and

Cougarfan777

Didn't sound like any beer was offered to the kids.

The Dude Abides

Depends on the state, but just "furnishing alcohol" can be breaking the law...

I tell him to politely decline next time.

As long as he's not making mixed drinks I don't have a don't have a big problem

Dillinger

7/17/17 10:34pm

Genuine Q: why would mixed drinks be the line you draw?

fattycoug

7/17/17 10:36pm

Honestly not sure. Because that would take some time and coaching on the dads

Dillinger

7/17/17 10:40pm

And you would actually trust him to not get drunk in front of your kid again?

So, the dad came over to introduce himself to my friend's and I asked them if he

fattycoug

Tbh, I'm just impressed he drank that much beer and didn't have to pee.

I'd assume most states it's not legal for minors to serve alcohol in a restauran

Poured beer but didn't drink - right?

Choke

7/17/17 10:27pm

Sure, as an adult, if you want to do that, I guess that is fine. Is a bit odd

fattycoug

7/17/17 10:33pm

I didn't mean to question your concern

Choke

7/17/17 10:36pm

To be clear. This was actually a friend/neighbors kid. He politely declined

fattycoug

7/17/17 10:40pm

I think you are right

Choke

7/17/17 10:41pm

Yeah, their kid is a good kid. Just said "no thanks" even declined to play CoD

fattycoug

7/17/17 10:44pm

Guy sounds like a real winner. I'd seriously reconsider allowing my son to

Kerbouchard

7/17/17 10:27pm

Agreed, not the kind of adult I want around my kid, or influencing my kid.

Tell my son how proud I am of him for telling me about this.

Good call on telling son you are proud he told you. You will want that

Maybe it is the 3rd one, or world at war. Then it's ok.

If the dad is having kids serve him beer, I'd question his judgment.

Invite his son over, and have him shine your shoes and fetch your slippers.

You should publicly accuse him of having your son give him a Mikes Hard Lemonade
