Partially true. You cannot give alcohol to children other than your own. Here's the clarification.
Your correct. I didn't word it properly, but I was talking about a parent and their minor child.

Do you think it's Acceptable for a parent to buy a minor (under 21) alcohol?
Here is an Example.
17-year-old kid is graduating from high school, parents buy kid and kids friends. Alcohol to drink in their home. Do you think that is acceptable?

Thats a BS excuse to be lazy IMHO. The availability of ILLEGAL alchohol would be severely curtailed if fewer people believed this BS. WHERE IS THE "somewhere else". That most teens do their drinking? At the home of some parent that would rather be best buddies than parents. Would some kids still drink, probably, but a lot less would if their friends parnets werent offering to provide it for them
Their own kids alcohol. I have no problem with this.
When we lived in Europe I would see little kids buying wine for the family dinner. The European kids thought Americans were absolute idiots for binge drinking.
Like anything else the more you take the novelty out of something the fater it becomes boring.
Anybody who throws a party for their kids AND under aged friends deserves to be fined and arrested.

Nope, its still illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to consume alcohol, no matter where. If said parents get caught they can get fined and or arrested no?
Have you ever met a 16/17/18 yr old? I had a few friends growing up who's parents allowed them to drink at home every once in awhile, and I definitely drank under age, but I can't think of one instance where my friends' parents provided for us to party with. Teens are creative. They will find alcohol and they will drink it. The only time I ever drank with other adults when I was underage were at family functions. And I came from a family that monitored all of us kids pretty closely in regards to partying and doing stupid teen chit. We had a pretty healthy relationship with our parents and still, all us kids still managed to get a hold of it. Its not lazy, you just can't follow your teen 24/7. Or maybe you think you have your helicopter license...
This argument carries a lot more weight for those individuals that actually serve.Do you think it is acceptable for the govt to send a minor(18) off to war so he has the chance to die for his country but that same country won't allow that individual buy and consume a beer because they are concerned about his health??
Many countries allow "underage" drinking. Most of them seem to have fewer problems with misuse of alcohol. The social stigma of being a drunk in many countries keeps most from drinking irresponsibly.

YOur information is not correct. Spent some time in Germany and Austria not to long ago and teenage / young adult drinking is a big problem. Basically beer but with little else to do they drink, start early in the day and get lit.
More Austria than Germany I believe. But talked with people in both countries and was shocked. It's not a problem they like to advertise (just like we play down the drug problem here).
ummm, been around here much? I work with teens, and the vast majority of them that drink do so at parties where someone's parent has purchased the alchohol. if the parents weren't buying it, it would be a lot harder for them to drink. not impossible, but definitely harder.
