Prom Drinking

[MAC]

Call the a paper and see if anyone wants to do a story. Might be right up a reporters alley with graduations happening now.

That would fix the moron of a father.

yeah I gotta say, we did a little drinking after the prom, but never before!! my cousin just went to his prom and told me they actually give kids breathalizers if they suspect they are drunk, if they refuse they go home, if they blow anything at all, they go home.
I can't believe how many kids are drinking before the prom these days, they're all a bunch of punks!!

The problem Mr Macey experienced I think is just the reason our town cracked down hard on prom night. No kid can come in a limo, helicopter or other exotic vehicle. If you're going to the prom you're staying for the overnight "lock-in" or parents will pick-up and sign you out. Cops will be inside and patrolling the school ground outside. Bags will be checked and just a suspician of drugs or alcohol is all it takes and your folks get called. Doesn't sound like fun at all to me.
I grew up on L.I. and the drinking age was 18. Maybe because of that we never got into trouble, pulled over for DUI, etc. My folks gave me money for a tux/prom, but said if you don't want to go just do something with the money. It was a no-brainer, on prom night several of us piled into "Bresh's" old Comet and headed for Montauk for thw weekend. Did a couple charters, got seasick for the first time, hit the beach, hit the drive-in (Lipstick), still one of the most memorable times I had in high school. And no one got drunk.

If you have a puppy that's always on a leash, the dog will head for the hills if it ever gets free. On the other hand, if your dog is used to being off it's leash, it will be perfectly behaved. When my dog was still alive, I'd let her out the front door and she would run to the backyard, do her business, and run back. People are a lot like dogs.

When I was in college, we loved when freshmen girls showed up who had overly-strick parents . I also personally witness a nice blond lass from the Cape who hadn't had a drink. . . until her 18th birthday at college when she drank the better part of a bottle of tequila. She lived - barely.

I'm glad these proms have breathalizers. It really sends the message that you are being treated as an adult and are expected to act like an adult.

I think that Mac is right, put him in the news! Barring that give his address to someone like me who would just love to drive over and kick his nads to the moon. Here you are fighting to keep his kid safe and there he is willing to stigmatize HIS OWN DAUGHTER as a victim of sexual misconduct. What an absolute arsehole. You're a good man, Sir. Those folks have no idea how lucky they were...

Mike, you did the right thing.

The laws today are pretty strict about providing Alcohol to minors, you stand to lose your business, especially with a parent who has already demonstrated they will do anything to save their own sorry skin...

you got you share of stories MrMacey...God Bless Ya.
