Alcohol and children don't mix. It's a bad environment for children anyway. I'm not talking about rights and I'm sure the laws in each state vary. I'm talking about what I deem is appropriate. It's my opinion and who knows, maybe it's mine alone.
What exactly is "cocktail time"? A Hotel Lounge isn't a bar. If you want to be in a bar where children aren't permitted, go to a bar.
If a TV is on in the lounge showing a movie, should no one be allowed to talk, just like in a movie theater?
dchristiva tried to capture the meta-discussion above, but it looks like we'll go through the process anyways. Poorly behaved children are a parent problem not a child problems, etc., etc.
