Personally, it is offending,

So anything that offends you should be against the law?

but for children to see it, it is harming because it sets a bad example.

So does smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, swearing, eating fatty foods, public nose picking and the list goes on and on. Should all those be against the law?

Children look up to all adults, especially law abiding ones, as opposed to those breaking the law.

Children learn who to look up to and who not to look up to by their parents teaching them. It doesn't take a village to raise a child no matter how much you want Hillary to be right? According to your standard a child should look better upon the law-abiding alcoholic than the person that exceeds the speed limit.

No, but how do you explain state laws on public attire (i.e. I can't run around naked through the streets)?

Actually, public intoxication is illegal in most states. So the only legal activity they would see is a guy buying a beer or hard liquor. I don't see a problem with that.
