Funny story on this subject. Back when I was in college a buddy of mines frat was having a big reunion/get together party on one of the Football Saturday’s. They had a bunch of alum members back and all of the current in school members as well. Well local police had been busting down on game day underage drinking (A colossal waste of money, but that’s another story all together) and they showed up at this party at that frat house (a private residence). They carded everyone and started arresting all the under 21’s in the crowd for under age drinking, and being huge dicks about it. Well suddenly one of the older alums comes up, points to one of the kids being walked away in cuffs, and says “You’re not arresting him.” One of the cops gets right up in the guys face and starts shouting at him “He was drinking under age and thats against the f*cking law you jack***, so yes we are arresting him.” ..... To which the older man calmly replied… “Well he’s my son, and this is a private residence, so no you’re not arresting him.” The cop just went… “Son of a bitch!” and Uncuffed the kid.
@SuperMouse Any age isn’t a bad thing, parents just need to teach kids to drink responsibly and we wouldn’t even need such a high drinking age. In Germany (and most of Europe for that matter) the drinking age is like 12.
