Hi. So my friends, one turned 18 today & the other is turning 17 in a week, they both drink wine. I'm going to call the younger one VP & the older JG. Okay so I went over to VP's house & I thought her dad wasn't home & (they're next door neighbors) JG's mom wasn't home, so they were both sitting on the couch watching the movie and drinking a glass of wine. They are like super best friends and I'm more popular so at first I thought they were just trying to look cool. But then VP's dad walked in & said hi to her & JG and introduced himself to me & then he poured himself a glass of wine & went to his bedroom, he didn't say anything to either of them. Then JG's mom came a bit later & did the same exact thing except she drank a glass then left. I called them out & Valor said she was French & Joey was Italian & like Joey speaks pure Italian at home & Valor speaks pure French at home like they are very into their home countries but they were both born in the U.S. & neither have been to France/Italy but they're going in June & they're aloud to drink small amounts of wine at home & it's just normal to them & they can drink in France/Italy but we're not in France/Italy. I don't think it's right that their parents let them do that. Like they don't even have French/Italian names. Sometimes they have wine with dinner & **** & I think it's wrong it's illegal here & Valor said her dad doesn't let her drink outside of the house (I guess Joey too) so wtf??? I think it's wrong like I'm (cont)

The laws vary by state. Generally no one under 21 yrs. of age can drink alcohol, but there are exceptions. In my state, Oregon, a child can drink alcohol at home under the supervision of their parents. The concept is the child can have a glass of wine with dinner "at home with supervision".



A child can not drink alcohol at home when his parents are not home and the rule does not apply to visiting children. It must be the childs parents supervising in their home.



Look up the laws of your state to see if their is a similar exception.

LOL. You should see the amount of 19 year old Americans who cross the border from Michigan to Canada for a night out drinking.

Yes, it is. You've posted this nonsense several times, and it has been reported.
