Dude has a point though. In cinemas in the Netherlands you can just buy big ass beer bottles anyway so what’s the bfd
Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?
Not when you’re a lightweight like me!
The Americans and their Puritan BS.
We have movie theaters here in the US that let you buy and drink alcohol too.
Alamo Drafthouse is the superior movie watching experience. Also if that dad talked to you like OP, you could get him kicked out!
I am not generally a movie goer. I prefer watching at home where I control the temperature, food, volume, company, and amount of floor stickiness.
That being said, my friends drug me to the Alamo Drafthouse a couple of years ago to catch a movie and I LOVE that place. It’s comfortable, the food is edible (not great, but not gross), and I can get completely schnookered while watching their throwback movies or the graveyard shift.
So now I actually hit the theater from time to time.
yeah, I just hate when the floor isn’t sticky enough!
They even have a bar at AMC now too. It’s gone mainstream
I won’t even watch a movie out anymore if I can’t have a beer or three in the theater :p
Yours might be the best (and/or most concerning) username I’ve encountered here so far :)
Since allegedly the whole cinema was full of “parents and children”, it clearly was a afternoon screening.
Like, just go to a late screening if you want to drink?
Same in California theaters and some in Arizona that I can confirm, probably all over the US tbh.
Proof of this greentext being fake and OP was paying more attention to the dad than the movie, proof of OP being gay.
Those are adult-only theaters where you’ll be carded upon entry. The OP clearly wasn’t at one of those.
Literally no. Cinemark theaters AND Alamo drafthouse in Socal, most if not all pretty much have beer on tap and bottled/canned and I can confirm Cinemark even has wines, they just card you when you order. Just go to their website and check. I was there (cinemark) this past weekend to see imaginary, inspite of its poor reviews I enjoyed it for what it was. Alamo draft house theaters only card you when you order alcohol too, I recommend them, their food is actually great too.
I know op wasn’t in one of those theaters I was just making the classic 4chan fake and gay joke.
Probably was just mad he was’t sharing. Why else would he sit next to him?
That last sentence. What the fuck.
Is this your first day on the internet or something
I know there is some shady shit going on in the background. What I don’t know is why.
I agree. Is in not universally accepted that Nick is clearly the hottest?
Are you new to the internet? Should we tell you about rule 34?
“I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.”
It’s possible to know about something for years and still be freaked out when it shows up.
That was a good read.
After the “Quiet on Set” drop, and Nickelodeon not being nearly as wealthy, anon probably has a good point about Jessica Rabbit.
In fairness I did watch a movie in a disney cinema once that actually had a bar, drinking my long island iced tea during the movie was a great experience.
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
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
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.
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 “normal” 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.
