I have a little rule that I like to follow. When I hear a complaint from three or more people, I think it might be time to write about it. I am not very popular with the sports groups around here as it is, so this will definitely throw some people over the edge.
I have not been to a youth sporting event in Mt. Lebanon for many years. From what I have been told, things have really changed since I attended. I understand it has become common practice for parents to bring alcohol to their kids' games. I do enjoy a good margarita or a glass of wine now and then, but I have never brought alcohol to any of the sporting events. First, I don't think it is appropriate. Second, or maybe it should have been first, I don't think it is legal to drink in our parks or school grounds.
I just started a new poll about alcohol and youth sporting events. Please take a moment to vote. Thanks.
