Debate (sort of) Which is more detrimental to children

Seeing parents/adults drink one beer or seeing parents/adults eat a buttload of fried fattening foods??

What's really bad is when the parents ask the kid to bring the can of beer and the boatload of fried chicken!!!!

Either way, my kids are in a buttload of trouble!

The food. Kids watch all of the choices that parents make. Whether it be drinking, eating, driving responsibly, etc. Drinking *one* beer is drinking responsibly. Eating a "buttload" of fried fattening foods is not eating responsibly. If your kids see you pounding down funnel cakes, they will think it's okay too!

By the way, exactly how much is a buttload?

LOL! A buttload is a little less than a boatload. I once heard that food portions per meal should not be bigger than your fist. Yikes! If that's the case we're all in trouble at my house.
I believe eating fried foods is much worse than one beer.
I have 3 kids and unfortunately one of them has picked up some of my bad eating habits. I guess it's never too late to change and we are slowly making changes...very slowly...

Either way we better all start saving for future therapy bills

beer-battered fried food is the most damaging

The bad news: Now I'm hungry and thirsty. The good news: My kids are all grown-up
