For now, I prefer he see people having a drink with a meal, but he's not quite old enough to understand drinking while having a good time. Fortunately, my daughter is very much following the lessons I taught her.

Please understand that I am not in the least condemning JR's for serving beer. It just is bad for me. And odds are I might even stop in there for a cold one and a BLT but not with my grandson.
Good explanation, Red. At first it seemed like a condemnation of the restaurant for serving beer. But now I understand it is just a bad thing for your particular situation. Kudos to you and your pro-active approach to your daughter and grandson. You best know your personal family situation.
