Did you know that one can be charged as an adult for underage drinking.
I guess this is worse than the kids going and having someone else buy it for them on the street? That's how we got our alcohol in high school. I suppose none of the freepers here ever indulged in a drop of alcohol before the age of 21. In my personal opinion, if you are old enough to die for your country, you are old enough to drink alcohol in it. I know it isn't the law, but its my opinion. If kids want to drink they will get it one way or another. At least they were supervised and not driving. Lighten up a bit. Now if they were 13-14 years old now thats a big problem.
A few years back, a High School from the SF Bay Area took a trip to Germany. Everyone knew the rules. When several students were caught drinking, they were immediately put on a plane for home, and their parents were left messages telling them when to pick them up at the airport. Several parents sued, and not only lost, but had to pay the School District's legal costs of $60,000.
