Beer-Bottle Baby Billboard

This picture appeared on a billboard in Deep River, CN. Disguised as an attempt to get parents to stop their children from drinking, the real reason behind the billboard is revealed in the article: "'Letting kids drink young is not a good idea at all. But telling your children not to drink, while you're drinking isn't ever going to work. What we need is leadership by example,' said [Wayne] Martin." In other words, parents should stop drinking.

The neo-Prohibitionists are on the move, folks.

Or provide an example of responsible drinking. I would have taken a more European attitude with my children and introduced them to drinking (and beermaking) as an enjoyable, rather than taboo, pastime.

Exactly. But Mr. Martin didn't offer that as an option.
