I find this whole incident of George Bush's

[coolboy96]

I find this whole incident of George Bush's teenage daughters being arrested for underage drinking so incredibly funny.

They're looking at a $500 fine, a driver license suspension, community service, and they have to take an alcoholics awarness course or something.

The media is making it out that these teens are abusing alcohol and that they have some sort of problem.

I mean come on.. how many 19 year old people DON'T drink? If they're drinking responsibly then who cares?

I mean if drinking age is 21 there then i guess they deserve the fine. The laws the law. But lets remember that drinking age is just an arbitrary number... In most countries it's far lower than in the US. Drinking age in Canada is 19 for instance.

So when I was 19 I was drinking legally here.. yet breaking a law in the US... So they weren't truly doing anythin WRONG...

A 19 year old person drinking responsibly on the weekend is a LONG ways away from having an "alcohol problem". Lets keep that in mind.

I totally thought this thread was about 9/11 when I saw the title.

When there was some nice dinner or barbecue and we drunk wine, I always offered my little children water with a tiny bit of white wine.

It never hurt them

It's like you started drafting this post 17 years ago and only now got around to hitting 'enter'.

The Bush twins are like 35 now.

You don't know that!

On a more serious note: I wish my parents had done that. I started drinking when I was 12, but didn't really "get into" beer until my 20s (mostly drank hard liquor 'til then, it was cheap) and never really got into wine until I had my first Michelin star restaurant visit. I missed so much. Trying to make up for it now
