"17-18 it's far less clear."

Any adult who buys alcohol for children under legal drinking age (no matter how close to 'legal' those kids are), has broken the law and needs to experience the consequences.

If some 'mom' or 'dad' want to let their kid drink alcohol in their own home before the legal age, that is one thing. Giving alcohol to other people's kids without their express permission is morally wrong.

I agree. If I ever see my kid going even 1 mile over the speed limit, or not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign or jaywalking. It's straight to the police station to learn him a lesson. Parents that think they should be able to regulate their children's behavior in a responsible way in their own house is a sure sign of bad parenting.
