I grew up with a dad that drank all the time, often spending money on drinks for himself and his friends, leaving no money for food for our family.
I also remember him coming in drunk, sometimes angry & yelling at my mom, even hitting her, but other times he’d come in and kiss us kids on the cheek and I remember the smell of the alcohol.
Way too many people in America and other countries suffer from alcoholism. I don’t think it’s being “Puritanical” to think maybe it’s good for parents to avoid alcohol breath on their young kids.
