I just feel the guilt you will feel will be 100 times worse if something did happen while under the influence and it hampered your ablility to react appropriately to an emergency situation. You don't have to be stoned or drunk for this to happen, all it takes is one drink. I am only thinking of the child's safety here. To me, drinking, no matter which parent, is not safe to do when you have 2 kids under the age of 2.
As far as the daycare experience I have, I was just showing how sometimes things happen rather suddenly (in any child situation) where you need to be able to react appropriately and quickly, where drinking may inhibit that.
She did ask if we thought it was okay to take the edge off. My answer is no. If you read my entire posts, you will see that we were supportive also, but warned of the drinking.
