While chaperoning a seventh$-$grade fleld trip to a historic site out of state, three teachers, who were not in the presence of students, shared a bottle of wine when dining together at a restaurant, and then they returned to the hotel to supervise students.

Did the teachers act unethically by consuming the wine?

Yes, because the field trip is a school$-$related activity, which requires the teachers to maintain the standards of professional practice at all times.

No$,$ because the teachers were not supervising students or in the presence of students when they consumed the alcohol.

No$,$ because the teachers drank the wine outside of normal working hours and their behavior cannot be mandated during that time.
