crusader1234 Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Seriously, I think drinking laws are ridiculous. Instead of parents teaching their kids how to be responsible (not get really drunk, don't drink and drive) we've got an expiry date on innocence. A lot of kids wait till theya re 21, then go wild. Then they make bad choices. Then, well, yeah then they puke. Parents: Teach your kids to make good choices while its still in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pio Nono Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 JMJ 1/3 - Second Monday of Christmastide Teetotaling (sic) isn't a virtue at all; it's an extreme form of the virtue of sobriety, and we are not to engage in extremes. Besides, St. Thomas Aquinas says that the scrupulous and those with edgy nerves should drink more than normal people. Calms 'em down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 When RussianGirl came to live with us, she was already a drinker (she was 15). However, she was very good and didn't challenge us and never drank at all. We were not drinkers and never had alcohol in our home. Then we started loosening up on ourselves and started having occational drinks at home when she was about 19, so we agreed to let her drink in our home. She's 21 now, so now she goes out. I think it worked out pretty well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a good choice! Our family owns a farm in shiner. I must have toured Shiner's brewery 4 times and it gets better every visit. At the end of each tour, everyone gets free tokens to drink lots of beer. Since I'm 16, I have to fork over the token to my dad. Boy does he love it. We are going to Shiner this weekend on a Scout campout and it's gonna be fun, fun, fun till daddy takes the T-Bird away.... Shiner is Czech/German farm town that is predominantly Catholic. Check out their cool Church [img]http://www.shinercatholicchurch.org/churchfront.jpg[/img] Here is a pic of people partying at the annual Bocktoberfest in Shiner. People come all over to this tiny town just to chill and honor the great beer of Shiner.

Iacobus Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 [quote name='crusader1234' date='Jan 3 2005, 04:38 AM'] Seriously, I think drinking laws are ridiculous.

One of my friends got into the whole drinking thing and was somehow talked me into letting him drink at my place. He tried to get me to drink, which produced the same affect as putting amoxicillan in my mouth. Maybe 0.00000001 mL made it to the back of my mouth before I spit it all up into the sink, promtly going into lab mode and flushing the pipes. But he got real drunk and started puklng and all that "fun" stuff, which I assume must be the goal. I just hauled him to the bathroom, put him on his side so his puke drained (as RJP coached us in 8th grade to do if we see a vomiting person) and sweep out his mouth with my finger to make sure he wouldn't drown in his vomit. I checked on him all night long at one to three minute intevals. Some how I feel that if drinking was okay for him to have done A) he probly wouldn't have been drinking, it would have been "no big deal." B) An adult would have been here so I wouldn't have had to be the resposible person and C) I would have felt better if I needed to have called for EMS. But the problem lies within the system. The drinking laws, in the US at least, don't really carry any bite unless you are driving. The same friend got pulled over the in the summer for speeding and he had a bottle of vodka in his car. The officer sezied it and gave him a ticket (I think the sum was 300 dollars). That isn't going to discourge drinking, I mean, if the worst case for me moving booze around is a 300 dollar fine, whoa. Either we need to teach teens how to drink responible, make drinking part of "normal" dinners or something like that, or make the laws do something more than gving out a 300 dollar fine.
