<p>^^Claremarie, I just got back from a conference championship weekend and was appalled at the amount of parental drinking. There were even drunken skirmishes betwen parents at local bars. The athletes were not involved, but it was interesting how many team members known to binge drink had parents who pre-gamed heavily. </p>
<p>Sadly, the same parental drinking style had been prevalent in our local club team. Poor examples are being set very early with this kind of behavior.</p>
