<p>Maybe it’s a socioeconomic thing - I didn’t attend an affluent school, and never heard of keg parties out in the middle of nowhere way back when.</p>
<p>I’ve had to educate my kid that people can have a drink without getting blind drunk. She seems to have absorbed the concept (from where?) that it’s either/or.</p>
<p>BTW, the best think I ever learned was to take a full glass and let it sit there on the table, or walk around with it. This approach allows social acceptability without taking so much as a sip, if so desired.</p>
