I agree with the parent. Alcohol shouldn’t be normalized as other drugs and the anon is probably an alcoholic – who else drinks in a cinema on a Disney movie?

Yeah because it’s good idea to just pretend like no one has any problems in life if it’s front of the precious children. I will drink in the damn movie theater

Alcohol is one of the most destructive narcotics. Read ANY scientific paper on this.

And yet it’s the most common and socially accepted drug other than maybe caffiene?

Alcohol is very normal

That’s the problem – it is popular and considered “normal” because of historical reasons. Science says completely otherwise. Sometimes common sense is wrong. Science is wrong very rarely and if so, corrects itself after some time. Read abstract of any article about alkcohol, e.g., from The Lancet journal.

Science says completely otherwise

The only science relevant to if something is “normal” in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise

Human consumption of alcohol is older than society, it’s very normal and natural for humans to drink. We’re not even the only animal aware of alcohol and it’s effects

Well, only if you disregard your health completely. And speaking about social issues:

"Even moderate drinking by parents can leave children feeling embarrassed or worried or lead to their bedtime being disrupted, according to the study led by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS). "

Alcohol cannot be defended from any position, just as cigarettes, even if fortunes are spent by alcoholic and tabacco corporations to “warm” their picture.
