Did you ever happen to think that they were drunk when they made the kid?
Should parents be allowed to get drunk?

I've seen my mother drunk too, and that's never funny. I will stay away from this poison myself.
Good thinking, my friend.
There are better ways to unwind than booze.

My parents don't drink more than a single beer or glass of wine.
In fact my father doesn't drink at all anymore.
I never saw any of the two drunk, also none of my grandparents (they all saw me drunk, though).
I think people shouldn't drink so much in front of their kids that they get out of control, anything else is okay.
They shouldn't smoke at all, because of the passive smoking that they'd expose their children to with it.

Nobody should ever lose complete control on oneself, being sober or net. If thats so, stay clean.
I don't think, any substance could make you do something that wasn't there in your personality before.
If you're prone to violence, you might go berserk when drunk --> stay away, If you're prone to brooding , you might go psycho when stoned --> stay away.
On the other hand, by tradition many cultures are encouraging the use of diverse substances, sometimes even as an initiation ritual to their adolescents.
Strangly, laws on substances vary from culture to culture.
Summary: having a glass of wine is different from having two bottles a day.
Smoking is unhealthy.

If you hide your vices from your kids until they're teenagers, don't expect them to respect you for it. At first they'll be frustrated that they struggle to match your impeccable moral standards- then they'll think you're a hypocrite.
I was drinking wine from the age of about 4, and beer from 10 or 11. It meant that while my inexperienced university friends were binge-drinking themselves into comas, I was shrugging and thinking it no big deal. If you want your kids to be safe around booze, use it regularly and responsibly in their presence.

My experience growing up was something similar. I used to take sips of my dad's Guinness in the pub and graduated to a half glass of wine at Christmass. I had my first full pint at 13/14. Alcohol was introduced to me in a safe place. My parents knew I wasn't experimenting then out of their sight and maybe doing myself serious harm. They did get drunk in front of me and my siblings on occasion but we thought nothing of it. If alcohol is a taboo subject in a household it usually becomes what all taboo subjects become to children, essential to try. Explaining to children what alcohol is and informing them of its benefits and dangers is much better than lettting them experiment to find out themselves.

Yes; parents should be allowed to get drunk.
Parents don't just exist to benefit their kids.
Why should people be discriminated just
because they have children?
It is not as if parenthood is being given
the nuclear attack button to hold.
Did they put your life at risk?
If so; tell us about it?
By the way I am a batchelor; and have no kids.
