???? Here in Colorado, 14-16 year olds are HIGH SCHOOL students...that's freshman-sophomore ages...
Middle school kids??? That’s ridiculous. I’ve criticized the 21 limit, but no way middle school kids should be served alcohol.
Very guilty.
Not even with two bags.
A lot of times these “party moms” fool themselves into thinking that kids will drink anyway and thus, let them drink at home. I had a friend who had parents like that.
Letting your own kid drink, in your own home is not a problem. As long as they are a decent age. Hosting a party for the underaged is a mushmelon’s idea and should be punished as such.
Even Laz would have to be drunk to hit that.
We’re too easy. Let’s make every offense punishable by death. Then our society will be safe.
Laz would hit it, but only when drunk.
Drunk and blind, maybe!
