But, if you give your kid alcohol and permit them to drink at home, then you are sending out wrong signals. You need to put your foot down and oppose underage drinking. [...]

Drinking is something that you should be able to chose to do when you are an “adult,” which is when a person turns 18. Most states let people drink if they have a parents consent, but when you turn 18 you can move away from your parents. So why do you need a parents consent when you are an “adult”?

The rules listed for Georgia are not quite correct. In order to drink when you’re under 21, you must be at home, have your parents permission to drink, and they must be with you.
Drinking among minors should be allowed only when the parents are having a drink at home and when they feel like sharing or giving some to their children, and the parents having a drink preferably should only be rarely and then on top of that, during special occasions. When the parents or guardians are drinking, only a small amount should be drank by the family, focusing on only drinking as much as your body size permits without getting drunk. And it should be NOT during sleeping hours.
This information is incorrect. State law in Wyoming allows minors to drink in bars and in their own home with a parent present.

We are a country that lives in our cars! That’s why underage drinking is a federal big stick against the states rights. Young people after the age of 12 or so need to know what is tastes like and many will avoid it at least until their 20’s or 30’s. I remember 3.2 beer for 18 year old clubs in many states.I agree that if one is 18 and is in the line of fire with the right to vote they should be able to drink whatever they want!! Also we need to decriminalize many things in this country that thinks it’s holier than thou! There must be a better way than clogging the courts and prisons!
