I went to see Zootopia and the only complaint I heard was from a little girl who I could clearly hear asking their mom "why does that old man not have any kids?" and proceed to say "maybe he's in the wrong room. We should tell him." π

Im just gonna hope theres different world cultures clashing here because doing this in the US or Canada WOULD be a dick move. Drinking in ANY theater if it wasnt catered to that is rude enough as it is here, but doing at a kids movie is particularly egregious .
Edit: Lmao, right, I'm on greentext, that explains a lot
Apparently this prudishness around liquor consumption is uniquely north american
Yeah, in eastern Europe (or at least when I grew up, which was after the communist regime btw) it was kind of normal to give beer (idk if anyone was doing something harder but if they were stupid enough then maybe) to your kid to shut them up, I know bad parenting and it definitely fucked me up for life, but it sure is normal when I look at the state of this country I live in
Unless you are being belligerent, I don't give a shit what you're drinking.
What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you're keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free....
Well it is literally illegal most places, although most people don't care enough to enforce that rigidly.

Did you read the bit at the bottom before commenting on your outrage? OP was basically saying that they'll turn out like he did.
Downvotes don't always mean that voters are taking the side you're against.
I agree with the parent. Alcohol shouldn't be normalized as other drugs and the anon is probably an alcoholic -- who else drinks in a cinema on a Disney movie?
Alcohol is as normal as it gets, buddy.
Alcohol is one of the most destructive narcotics. Read ANY scientific paper on this.
And yet it's the most common and socially accepted drug other than maybe caffiene?
Alcohol is very normal
That's the problem -- it is popular and considered "normal" because of historical reasons. Science says completely otherwise. Sometimes common sense is wrong. Science is wrong very rarely and if so, corrects itself after some time. Read abstract of any article about alkcohol, e.g., from The Lancet journal.
Science says completely otherwise
The only science relevant to if something is "normal" in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise
Human consumption of alcohol is older than society, it's very normal and natural for humans to drink. We're not even the only animal aware of alcohol and it's effects
The only science relevant to if something is βnormalβ in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise
Well, only if you disregard your health completely. And speaking about social issues:
"Even moderate drinking by parents can leave children feeling embarrassed or worried or lead to their bedtime being disrupted, according to the study led by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS). "
Alcohol cannot be defended from any position, just as cigarettes, even if fortunes are spent by alcoholic and tabacco corporations to "warm" their picture.
Whatever you say, square.
There was a time I drunk af, to being unconcious. Now I see this was completely stupid, I wouldn't do it again and I am sober since almost a year. I am not offended by called square, I learned to find pleasure in simple things like music or tea or yerba mate or reading. Whatever you choose, take care about yourself!
Shut the fuck up and mind your own damn business if no one's being belligerent.
Yeah because it's good idea to just pretend like no one has any problems in life if it's front of the precious children. I will drink in the damn movie theater
If you think alcohol will solve your problem, you are pretty dumb
Never claimed so. Never claimed to be alcoholic either
I'm sober for a year now. Yeah don't normalize it, but mind your own business.
They sell alcohol in the theaters here, so as long as your old enough you can drink in any film showing
No matter one's views on drinking at a cinema...
The dad's an idiot. How the fuck are kids going to realize that's booze in a dark theatre, especially if their dad is between them? He ruined the experience for his kids by constantly drawing attention and letting the kids realize something was up, not Drunky Anon
Depending on the booze you can tell -- if he's taking swigs of vodka or whiskey it's pretty easy to know
And he was taking chugs, aaaand ended drunk, so it wasn't beer. Also, the smell.
