Then I take a reality pill and put my grownup pants on and thank God nothing worse happened.

We have some pretty awesome kids! The very worst consequence of my drinking would be if she thought drinking a pint a night gooned out on the couch was normal and try to emulate me. From 6 to 16 I set the example that heavy drinking was cool. I am so glad she saw through that BS.
