Question about IDs for alcohol...

I don't mind getting carded myself, but when you ask all people in the party, I think that's SUPER lame.

Yeah, the laws are really fuzzy and stupid. A few weeks ago I was in the liquor store, and I saw a guy who looked like he was in his mid-20's, and he had a younger guy with him who was probably 14-15 years old. They wouldn't sell him beer because the 14-15 year old wasn't of age, even though the older guy had his ID. He was like, "he's my little brother, the beer is for my dad and I for our cookout." The clerk didn't care.

Then I see a mother probably in her mid-40's who is with her clearly underage son, she's buys a case of wine, and the clerk didn't even bat an eye. WTF???

That's weird because the liquor store sold booze to me the night BEFORE I officially turned 21. Overall, the liquor store seems to be the most lenient.

Sometimes this country can be so childish. In Europe and Asia no one gives a shit if you drink or how old you are when you chose to do it. It's no big deal. Over here it's a big deal, thus kids want the forbidden fruit, and binge when they do get it.

I didn't say they did everything right.

They have whores on the sides of the road too.

Honestly, if a kid can go off and die in the military, who is to say he can't smoke a joint or drink a beer? What's more immoral, catching a buzz or shooting people?

Its another case of women getting leniency. The clerk obviously thought that the dude with his little brother was gonna pour alcohol down down his little brothers throat. Whereas the woman, who is clearly a wino judging by all the wine she's buying, would never give her underage son a sip of wine she's gonna keep it all for herself.
