sava, you havent talked to the people that are part of the parenting program i devised, which involves hard labor, sunrise wake times, sunset bed times, 2 meals a day, and a bullwhip."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

no... but here's why...
tsk tsk... puerto ricans drink too much...Among ninth graders, binge drinking was reported by 27% of non-Hispanic white students and 30% of Hispanic students, but only 15% of African American students and 5% of Asian-Pacific Islander students.
anyway what about the democratic process?

According to a Michigan state study, somewhere between 50 and 60% of students from grade 8 to 12 were drunk within the last 30 days when the study was conducted. I imagine the statistics get correspondingly higher with age. Sorry for the shoddy link

Anyone who thinks underage kids will not drink simply because it's against the law is living in a seriously sheltered world.

Absolutely. Where's Buck Birdseed? I seem to remember him telling me that in Sweden where the alcohol laws are incredibly tight they had to drink illegal moonshine.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

I support those measures also... again... there's a difference between parental supervised social drinking and rauckus, uncontrolled, partying. The latter should be controlled.An overwhelming majority of Americans (96%) are concerned about underage drinking.

Concerned about underage drinking is awfully generic. I would be interested to see what precisely they are concerned about, and then I'd be interested to see how the questions regarding 'measures that would help to reduce underage drinking' were put forth.An overwhelming majority of Americans (96%) are concerned about underage drinking.
