I am not offended by the law itself, Younghoss. My point is just because it’s the law doesn’t mean you have to ignore behavior. You’re still the parent and I felt my SIL was not being one. At the time she made the argument about having traveled extensively in Europe etc and that this was a similar “teaching” moment. I saw it also as a teachable moment but would have taught something different. There is a difference between having wine, beer, liquor as a compliment to an occasion or meal and having wine, beer and liquor as the centerpiece.

Like I said… I have no problem with son having a beer, but I’d be singing an entirely different tune if he was ordering shooters and six pack.
