And its truly ironic. Whether your 19, 21 or 51 if you drink and drive you need to be put in jail, and people at these ages do it again and again. They lose their licenses and still drink and drive. The jails can't hold them all.

i love the headline! "Shops busted for alcohol sales to kids" what kids?! 17 year old probably looked like she/he was a lot older. the person behind the counter made a mistake and they are going to pay for it, but do they have to make it sound like those people are some kind of monsters, providing alcohol for children?!

I have to agree with dumbass. When the government has to resort to tactics like this to enforce the laws then something is wrong. And I guarantee you that the vast majority of the alcohol that is consumed by minors is not obtained in this way. It is either bought with false ID, or by someone over the age of 21 who supplies it to the kids. So how much good are these "stings" really doing?

(don't answer, that was a rhetorical question)

just one quick point

when the cops send in an underage person to buy booze and they get the booze why don't the cops arrest themselves for letting an underage person buy booze.

then the person and the business get in loads of trouble for letting them selves be set up.

I am however not for underage folks buying booze
just yesterday some kid in front of a local store asked me if I would buy her booze I told the young girl to go tell the cops I won't bite.

Daily Horoscope for December 27

Scorpio

If you haven't seen certain people during the past few days, how about inviting them over for a drink or a meal? You're feeling sociable and will enjoy doing some light entertaining although you'll draw the line at anything too strenuous. It's a lovely day for being in familiar surroundings with some familiar faces, even if all you do is flop on the sofa.
