"Stupid moron" is putting it mildly.

This has got nothing to do with targetting "youth." everywhere in the good old USofA one must be 21 to enter an establishment that sells alcohol - which means they are only dealing with adults.

And these promotions have been going on for much longer than the claim of the 1998 MSA. I remember them in the early 80s.

Not so. There are many bars/clubs in this area (DC) that admit 18-20 year olds. They don't get the wristbands/handstamps that allow them to purchase alcohol. Nevertheless, they are targeting the 18+ crowd, who are legal smokers.
