[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Horrible bill. I support safe, monitored drinking by 18-21 year olds in an appropriate environment. The idea that a 20 year old can serve in the military or buy a gun but not drink a beer is ludicrous.[/quote]

Just to let you know the girl's Dad hosting the party was 16 at the time, not 18-21yrs old.  And the notion that 18-21 drink responsibly is way off.  Most European countries have 18 drinking limits and have some of the highest binge drinking for teens.  And 18yr olds hang out with 13/14yr olds in the same school.  Do you want your 13yr old Freshman guzzling a 6 pack with a senior?  [/quote]
Exactly.[/quote]

Those 18 year old HS seniors have 21 year old college aged siblings and friends who throw parties.  So if the 18 year old has a 13 year old girlfriend - yeah, the 13 year old is quite likely doing a whole lot of things that a 13 year old should not be doing.  Know where your kids are.  Keep them busy.

When they are graduated from HS they can get a job and/or go to college, get their own place and test the waters of independence and freedom a bit.  Or they can continue to live with their parents and go to school/work.  They can grab a beer or two out of the fridge if they want to.  But do not offer those beers to younger siblings or minor (HS) friends.[/quote]
