Smily,
While not a member of WBCCI, it would seem that they should have well rounded activities in which members could participate or not. I drank like a fish while in college until I wised up and started studying. I enjoy a good Jack Daniels, Rum and Coke or Margarita as well as a wine cooler now and then. Those members not wishing to attend a happy hour could have an alternative activity. I could see that there is a segment of the population who have different opinions about alcohol and do not wish to have their children around those partaking of the consumption. They should have that right and feel free to go to another activity. I grew up going to church every Sunday and every once in a while my mother would say that we have to be seen in church. I now go when I feel a need and for what I feel are special times during the year, not to be seen by others. If I felt that I was being pressured to attend a Sunday morning service because every other member would be there then it would be a turnoff. These are just a few of my thoughts because before I ever joined a local unit, I'd sure want to know that I would be comfortable fitting in (sort of like joining my fraternity during college, that is another story).
