The only drinking I did while walking was the occasional sip while en route from where I'd gotten my beer to the next smoking spot I was headed to!

But I distinctly remember the time I was about 5 or 6 years old, out to dinner with extended family and asked if it was even allowed after my Aunt Norma ordered a beer! hehe
