Yes, the truth is children won't stop an alcoholic. What actually happens is the non-drinker ends up raising the children alone - the drinker becomes another dependant in the scenario.
It's not "happy hour" it's not - is it ok if our future children see weed only (really??) it's just alcoholism/addiction. And above everything addiction is self centered. He didn't stop to ask how it might affect children, he stopped to ask to make sure no one would try to stop him.
I'm glad you found the forum tacomas.
