I am glad my kids are almost grown up, 3 out of 5 are over 21. They all drank before they were 21, one way or another. Making a law does not eliminate problems or stupid decisions, kids still do stuff they are not supposed to do. It does make sure that no matter what, I would not allow kids to drink at my house, therefore I am sure that they will do it and there is no possibility that any reasonable adult would supervise them. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
Here is a life lesson one friend of mine's kid learned. He went to a party at a hunting camp up in the hills(This is VT) A girl went to go to the outhouse in the woods and fell off a cliff. He went to help her, others called the ambulance and split, he stayed with her and waited for the ambulance. As a reward he was cited for underage drinking, paid for counseling, etc. What do you think he learned from that?

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
