    Im just gonna hope theres different world cultures clashing here because doing this in the US or Canada WOULD be a dick move. Drinking in ANY theater if it wasnt catered to that is rude enough as it is here, but doing at a kids movie is particularly egregious .

    Edit: Lmao, right, I’m on greentext, that explains a lot

      What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you’re keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free…

        Well it is literally illegal most places, although most people don’t care enough to enforce that rigidly.

    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?

            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). "

                https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/oct/18/even-moderate-drinking-by-parents-can-upset-children-study

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