Yeah... Per reps children don't have any rights after exiting the womb. Sooo this is not surprising.
A 14 year old working in what I assume is a restaurant seems weird to me, but if their parents agree, I can't see much harm in letting a youngster put a beer or a glass of scotch in front of the customer. Heck, at that age, I was stealing beer from my dad's supply. I think I turned out OK.
You are putting children at risk of sexual harrassment from drunk adults. That is enough to say no for me lol.
drop drinking age to 18
That will never happen in the United States, in fact their is a push to increase the age to smoke and drink to 26.
So veterans can be 8 years into improperly treated PTSD before being allowed a fucking beer?
So kids at college parties are going hard on the booze they smuggled in, instead of drinking a few beer and calling it a night?
This is insane. The legal buying age of alcohol shouldn't be later, than the age at which you are allowed to do everything else as a self responsible addult.
And that is leaving alone the fact, how the US is punishing the teenagers for posession of alcohol, instead of punishing the adults, that got it to them. So the law says it thinks they cannot be responsible around alcohol yet. So then they go to punish the people, who are not responsible around it yet according to the law. So they make people take responsibility, for something the law denies them being able to take responsibility, irrespective of the fact if they actually could.
That is why other countries rightfully dont punish teenagers criminally, but instead focus on the adults around them having to be responsible for the teens not getting alcohol in their hands.
