In Wisconsin we can take our kids to the bar and buy them a
drink. Now the land of 10,000 lakes want
to offer the same service to their 18-20 year olds. I always thought that the law that allowed a
parent or guardian to take their kids to the bar to enjoy a cocktail was odd,
that is until I had a beer with my son at my favorite watering hole. Being able to drink a beer with your late
teen child is like a rite of passage for them.
My Mom and Dad never allowed me to have a beer with them until I turned
21, I still remember that day, the day of my 21st birthday over 25
years ago having that first legal beer, I was at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater
and my folks took me and my future wife out for dinner and a show, I don’t remember
what show it was, or what I had for dinner but I do remember ordering my first
beer with my parents. I think that all adults
aged 19 and older should be allowed to buy what they want. They can fight in a war, live on their own, be
treated as an adult, be married, do just about anything someone 21 and older
can do, but they can’t go into a bar or legally buy alcohol.
