Is drinking alcohol in front of the kids really detrimental? Should we completely avoid this or is there a workaround? I am asking this because a lot of times friends visit our place or we go to their's and a lot of times we happen to have a couple of beers, smoking of course we completely avoid but regarding drinking also I want to be sure if this kind of exposure is not harming him in anyway.

If it is not a frequent activity and the children understand the possible hazards of drinking, then it should be fine. Smoking however, is another issue. Second-hand smoke (friends smoking) is detrimental to children and should be avoided at all costs. There's a higher risk of your children contracting asthma. http://sg.theasianparent.com/how-secondhand-smoking-affects-children-negative-effects-of-smoking/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/73239-emotional-effects-children-seeing-parents/
