The vast majority of drinkers should be kept away from children.

The drinking brits would like to know how you came to that conclusion.

Interesting to mention Britain, where drinking in football stadia has not been permitted since the 1980s. Bit of an "own goal" so to speak :)

There are no pictures of people fighting in that article. This thread is not going well for you, is it? :-P

So, no children in restaurants for dinner for example? Or family & friends barbecues? Or weddings? New Year's celebrations?

I live in the UK. Most people I know here drink, ranging from seldom and socially to frequent binges. I know perhaps one or two that I've seen become even slightly violent, and it's usually followed by an insurmountable amount of apologies and feelings of shame.
