Drinking Under Adult Supervision

Health Sumo

Gambling, smoking, and underage drinking. This photo with the extended family covers it all. While the grownups are busy playing cards, 13-year-old Johnny gets a taste of adult life—and second-hand smoke. What an excellent way to keep the kids busy in this family reunion. Soon, Gramps and Uncle Phil are going to let little Johnny sit at the table and teach him to play poker. With any luck, he’s going to be the next World Poker Tournament champion. Or, he could turn out to be the reclusive neighborhood alcoholic. Hopefully, Johnny won’t end up becoming a compulsive gambler with a drinking problem, chasing his losses at the casinos in Atlantic City while coughing his life away through a haze of smoke and bouts of bronchitis.
