Probably a good idea in your case, given your obvious dislike of children evident in that statement. (No one sees themselves having "brats".)

I wouldn't see myself having a "brat" either. That being said, others' children should be seen and not heard, and I'm tired of doting parents constantly reminding me of how "their child" is clearly the greatest child since Mozart or Jesus.
But I find myself getting off point...

I recall the "debate" a little differently -- I think (and sorry if I'm misattributing) that paigow expressed disdain for a pregnant woman who was standing in a bar where people were smoking and criticized this woman for drinking (although paigow didn't know for sure whether the pregnant woman was drinking an alcoholic beverage or not.)

Actually, there was a pile-on and "shock and awe" for someone daring to suggest that having a drink was ok.

I don't know who you think the "mommy brigade" is...

Isn't it apparent? But let me add the "daddy brigade" to this lest I be accused of being sexist.

....but I do recall many people saying, "lay off, [paigow], what business is it of yours, and besides, one drink is really not a big deal."

I actually recall Multo and perhaps GWINK being the only people to do so.

And since when is CZJ a role model?

Oh, right, actors and actresses shoved in our faces and who use their bully pulpit to express their views are NOT role models. OK, Charles Barkley.

And yes, I dig the new Bloomberg anti-smoking rules. Going out to bars is something I would consider doing now, whereas before, I really had to have a good excuse, because the stench of smoke is so off-putting.

But you WOULD purport to tell establishment owners and paying customers what they can and cannot do? I see.
