I am not speaking of New Years Eve I was talking about going out with my sister and her fiancee' and my DH having more then 1 beer and prefering not to drive and letting my son drive I can not drive I am tipsy after one margarita but DH can drink a 12 pack and barley feel a buzz......he used to drink ALOT but then one day decided to all but stop and now there are 5 beers in the fridge that were in a 12 pack from a couple months ago
is it wrong to let your 18 year old be your designated driver?

Not trying to be a jerk but how about a virgin Margarita?
Cause tequilla is tasty! :woot:
yes, i think folks are completely misjudging and also misinterpreting you post. i totally got what you were saying. you would rather be safe than sorry. and it would ease your mind to know you were safe. i am an avid advocate for being open and honest with kids and also raising them to be responsible drinkers and i think this is an excellent way to do so. it is a two way street.

If you are out celebrating I think you would be out considerably longer than the time it takes to have one Margarita so maybe the alcohol would be metabolized by the end of your fun.
It was only this summer that my kids who are 16, 14 and 11 first saw me drink. We were in Michigan for a baseball tournament and I had a few Mikes hard Lemonade. I was a little buzzed but nowhere near drunk. I think that showing your kid that even as an adult you do not drive when you drink is responsible. Nothing like the smoker who tells their kid don't smoke. I would say though that it is a "special" kind of parent that gets obliterated in front of their kids. And while responsible that they have the kid drive instead of themselves I do not think any kid needs to see their parent in that condition no matter what the age
I hate how this has turned into bashing anyone who drinks more than a couple drinks in public!
Not now obviously, but before the pregnancy I would someone regularly go out with my friends, sister, or DH. We all took turns with being DD and we had a few rounds at a favorite cheap bar (over the course of a few hours) and all was fine.
I agree that having your 18 yo as your DD when you occasionally/rarely get tipsy is not a bad idea. :9:
I also agree that it's not a good idea to make a habit out of it or be piss drunk. But I know that's now what you were asking.
As far as NYE goes, the only time DH and I have ever gone out (even when dating), we were always at a family member's or friend's house and stayed the night.
When DD was our only child, we would bring her to my sister's house with us and DH and I took turns with drinking so one was sober to get up with her if need be.
Now we're boring old people and don't do much. Hell, this year I work until 10pm anyways. I'll be surprised if anyone is awake when I get home.
The end. Lol that was long, sorry

yes or no what?
your children may have never seen you 'altered' by anything like drugs and alchol but they have seen you 'altered' by your husbands treatment of you............a little tipsy goes away, watching your mother being treated that way doesnt
you have a religious adversion to alchol I dont
DOH!!!
I know, **** it, I was comming back to edit that, but sense you quoted it doesnt matter when I get annoyed I need to wait 10 minutes before posting

Oh hell no...
WTF is wrong with you? Aside from your redneck, off your rocker, out of touch with reality back woods Georgia mindset?
Get a frigging clue...plenty of wonderful men do and say stupid **** to that hurts their wives feelings. It doesn't mean they should leave him. No one is perfect, and Barb posts complimentary things about her DH all the time too not just the bad stuff. But few people seem to notice that. Of course not, the negative rules right?! It's way more fun to chew on the dirt than acknowledge the good stuff.
You are an **** clown. And it gets old...seriously old.
