We've talked about the two proposals in the House regarding underage drinking. There's one to make it illegal to sell alcohol to a 21 year old until 7 a.m. the day of their birthday. (Theory is they won't be able to get drunk at midnight) and the other is to require registration of kegs when purchased. This is to make it easier to prosecute you and sue you should an underage kid get a bit of your beer.
Both of these proposals are ridiculous. Where are the rugged individualists calling this an outrage. One more way the Legislature attempts to regulate something that doesn't need regulating. What if they were trying to get this nosy about guns?
You cannot legislate away stupidity. Twenty-one year olds that get so drunk they die on their birthday...a shame yes, but a reason to legislate...no.
