Is this a Dwarf issue or a LPA issue?

it seems when LPA policy is dicussed here some remind me/ us that this is the

wrong forumn.

Alchol abuse ( amongst LP's) seperately of a conference is a real issue though

Didn't they have those at the Indianapolis convention ??????????

simple possible solution to underage drinking

Everyone is concerned - legitimately - about underage

drinking. I have a simple solution. Bracelets.

Everyone that attends the conventions has to register

correct? Why not have plastic bracelets available at

the registration table. No proper ID - no bracelet.

To make it easy only tag those that are over 21. That

way the bartenders can easily see who can legally

drink and who cannot.

I say plastic so they won't disintergrate in the pool

or shower. I also say bracelets instead of a stamp,

because stamps can be washed off and are more obvious

than a bracelet which during the day can be hidden by

a watch or long sleeves (weather pending of course).

Just a thought. This may help to eliminate the need of

two dances and underage people obtaining drinks on

their own.

If adults are found out to be buying booze for kids let it be known way in

advance that their LPA membership will be suspended for a year or be booted

from the convention or some kind of harsh consequence.

I think its simple. Make people accountable for there actions . It seems to

me that a lot of time has been taking up on this drinking issue and kids

being unsupervised at these conventions.

It sounds like LPA has some core issues to look at before the next

convention because just reading these last few threads

instead of 2 dances how about looking into offering a 12 step program also.

with all the time and space its taking up here, and the fact that it may be

a problem at the next convention. It sounds like the problem has reached LPA

Create a policy that if an adult is caught buying drinks for a minor

at the dances that they will not be allowed to partake of the dances

for the rest of the week. Not to mention it is illegal.

It really is shameful if this happens.

I think it's a great idea, too.... also add to it that NO drinks are to

leave the party, that's it! If someone lost their bracelet, they could be

carded again at the registration desk of the hotel, and that would be the

only way to get a new one.

No one would be admitted to the party without the bracelet. I like it, and I

think the hotel would go the extra mile to hand out the bracelets, because

as someone said, they want to protect themselves from a lawsuit.
