Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 You can ban, ban, ban until the cows come home. I think too it has to do with how children are raised regarding smart choices to make be it smoking, drinking, pre-marital sex, how they relate to people of different backgrounds such as lp's, etc. I don't feel that we should go overboard with this banning campaign because you might as well pertain it to food such as saying banning junk food like chips and pop and only have high carb foods and bottled water. I of course don't encourage underage drinking and feel having a rule that people need to be a certain age to have an alcoholic drink is fine. Just don't go overboard with this banning campaign and also don't let ones are responsible and the right age to not be able to enjoy something as well. You can have a party for ones under the legal drinking age where one can have a good time as well. I don't feel though that people who are responsible and the legal age should not be able to enjoy an adult night. I see around clubs specifically for the younger crowd which is only right. They are entitled to enjoy dancing, socializing, etc., without having to wait to the legal age to enjoy it. The only thing is there is no alcohol. The other thing is I'm over 21 and drink but drink socially and I don't feel it's a big thing. Having a drink to me is not a habit like popping a piece of Trident in my mouth. There is a point in making a statement or making rules but then there is a point where it goes overboard like banning the Pledge of Allegiance in schools.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Underage drinking is against the law...last time I checked, eating junk food was not against the law. There should be no underage drinking at any LPA event, just like there should be no underage drinking at private events, like parents who throw parties for their children. A zero tolerance policy is not taking it too far...it is abiding by the laws and doing what is right. Bars who serve underage drikners could lose their license, and I'm sure if LPA condones underage drinking lawsuits will be coming out of the woodwork. Follow the law- ban underage drinking.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Mike, Right and I'm certainly not encouraging underage drinking but when you go to the extremes like some have mentioned and want to mention other things to be banned that is too far and that is why I had mentioned: ban, ban, ban...
