This is why you should have booze at graduation parties.

That poor kid.

How would booze have helped? Sounds like a bunch of selfish grown ups who don't give a crap about the kid.

Bunch of losers.

I agree. They could have at least get along for one night that is special for their kid.

Booze actually doesn't solve any problems.

Alcohol would probably have loosened people up a bit. Nothing wrong with drinking to have a good time

Thank God I didn't go, but my wife and son went to a graduation party for the son of a divorced couple we know.

Both families were there. It was beyond awkward. Barely anyone spoke. People who didn't know the families came and went rapidly.

Finally, an elderly aunt and uncle of the graduates father got up to leave and the aunt said "well, we have to go because we are having too much fun here."

it was painful. My wife said shed never been to such a downer for a graduation "party".

That's ridiculous. We've always had joint parties. People need to grow up...

If a person needs alcohol to "loosen up and have fun" they are not the people I want around.

Well I'm sure you're not the person they want to be around either. Win win.

Because at least if Yiu have to be bored to tears--youd be drinking. It helps. You would have no clue if you don't drink.

Neither can I. I won't say I hate weddings, but I strongly dislike them. They are much more tolerable as an adult with a glass of wine in hand.

They wanted it to be like the graduation parties for our kids which were a blast.

I don't really drink anymore, I never have time. But when I used to drink I didn't care about being around non drinkers except for the self-righteous, holier than thou judgemental ones.

The graduation parties for our kids were awesome. They started on Thursday night when some friends set up their campers in our yard. We got done about 3 a.m. On Sunday.

For a lot of people, ours was the last party they attended so they could stay and not have to worry about going to any others. Some people left and came back later after they made their rounds.

We had a theme. Great food. All kinds of drinks, including a keg and a margarita machine.

It was excruciating. our friend called my wife later and told her "it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be". My wife didn't even know what to say.

You think he/she was sniffing around hoping your wife was going to say, No! it was a great time!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

My graduation party started with a cook out at the park, then my friends and I went to a local amusement park.

After Caitlyn's graduation, we went out for a big dinner and then she and her friends went to Six Flags the next day.

Jesse graduates this Saturday, it will be late when finished, so we will celebrate Sunday with a cook out and he and his friends are planning a trip to Six Flags for the next week.

No alcohol involved.

There will probably be a ball game to play, and maybe some tubing on Sunday afternoon.

It has nothing to do with alcohol.

It would have been a sucky party with a liquor store worth of alcohol.

It was the people.

The people were the problem.

And all the alcohol in the world wouldn't have helped.

That's idiotic. Whats she supposed to do--not invite the grandparents? It probably would have been a sucky party, antyway, but it would have sucked a LOT less with a few beers.

Yes, alcohol would have made it more tolerable for everyone else.

True, if a person can't have fun without some sort of stimulant like alcohol, its a red flag.

I agree lily. I do enjoy a glass of wine with a good steak and a occasional ****tail but I can have a great time without it. Alcohol can't make someone who is a jerk less of a jerk but can make them worse. My bil drank while my dad lay dying, sure it helped him but he made a sad situation where we were trying to say goodbye to my father into something that caused a lot of hurt and anger.

You CAN go have a good time without alcohol--but saying that every situation is a barrel of fun is absurd.

Are root canals fun? Enemas? Waiting in line at the DMV?
