My boss told me that if the parents choose to give the children beer, state law says that is ok.

Your boss was wrong. He doesn't make state law.

It depends on your state, In Texas a parent or gaurdian can give the
the child booze if they want, In Virginia it would be ilegal. Other states I guess it depends on where you live.

Throughout the State of Colorado, alcohol and kids have drastically risen. According to our state law as well as every other state, persons consuming or in possession of alcohol must be of at least 21 years of age (12-47-901). In Colorado it is illegal to enter into a liquor store if under 21 years of age (12-47-901(b)). However it is also a criminal act for a person to sell or give alcohol to any person under 21 years of age (12-47-901(1a)). The majority of tickets given to underage drinkers deal with the possession and consumption of "ethyl alcohol." Ethyl alcohol is the definition for beer and liquor and constitute more than half of underage tickets given (18-13-122). Although Colorado law is extremely specific on the law regarding underage drinking, people still attempt to purchase alcohol. Some youth make fake ID's by altering, defacing, or constructing illegal identification. This is a serious crime and punishable by fines, felony, and misdemeanor charges (12-47-901(IIA, IIB). Even though drinking is illegal there are some exceptions to the rule. An underage person may consume alcohol if they obtain permission from their guardians and drink on their private
property


Look at the last paragraph. I have proven you are wrong, I deserve an apology.
