KS is going to move to Wisconsin.  They support drinking beer and have a good inexpensive state university system.  Mostly it is the beer.

Yah, you got dat right.

It is very casual over here.

When you can legally take your underage kid into a bar and get him/her schweeled up, it's a little laid back.  ::)

It used to be like that everywhere.  Now in NJ they will take a kids license for underage drinking and go after the parents if the kid has a drink at home.

KS remembers his dad sending him into the liquor store for a six of pabst and a pack of smokes when KS was a kid.

In Illinois, Lake County, we just had a trial for parents who let their kid and 20 of his underage friends drink in their basement. They said they had no idea drinking was happening, but the jury found them guilty. Now, our state representatives what to introduce a bill that would make it a felony for parents to allowing underage drinking, if the person drinking gets into an accident and suffered great bodily harm or death. What do you do with the son or daughter who has spent two years at college but is only 20-no drinking at home, I guess.
Anyway, let's get the football season underway!

Yo Zip! Good question as I am in exactly that position now. JR's home Carver County has been in the news recently with their attempts to pass a social host responsibility ordinance. How is that enforced if parents truly don't know it's happening in their home?

Oh well. more work for lawyers. ;)

It's almost too hot here today to think of drinking anything but water.  :o

Fins, in the same situation with you, compounded by the fact that Sum Jr and I make several trips to Canada each year on hunting and fishing excursions. Drinking age is 18 in Manitoba and 19 in Ontario!

You mean "the No Fun Zone."  ;D

Except, of course, when Duffman goes in there and gets the Warhawk faithful all riled up.  :D

BTW, where's Duff?  ???

SJU56321 and finsleft, the social host ordinance that I worked on before I became the Honorable required the state to prove that the host knowingly allowed the underage drinking or possession to happen before there could be any criminal liability. Some of the graduation/prom parties are so obvious as to what is happening. There is the attitude among some parents that "my kids and their friends are going to drink anyway, so we might as well have them drink at our house so we know they are safe and can't drive away intoxicated." Some of those traditions are difficult to change.

JR,

Seems that that is a really high threshhold for the government to meet.  The apparent parental involvement may be obvious to the law enforcement officials but in this day and age of Bill and Hillary and the statements of I don't recall doing that or I don't recall this or that.  How do you prove it beyond a reasonable doubt given the climate that we are in these days. 

Wouldn't a better law be to hold the person in that household responsible.  Throw the kids in the pokey for awhile or have a huge fine for underage drinking.  That would put a stop to it.
