1. *g* So get off to bed...
But somebody explain to me why a sixteen-year old's getting drunk - not that I find this all too good - is a matter for "records"???? It should be a matter for parents - but "records"?!

20. In my state it is illegal to be in possession of alcohol
or to be even slightly under the influence (blow anything but 000 on a breathalyzer) until you are 18.

The drinking age is 21. I'm not sure what the law is for 19 to 21 year olds . . .

23. Does this mean that young people can legally be stopped and forced
to breathe into this thing - and the result goes on record???!

The more I hear and read the more I wonder why you US-citizens consider yourselves so "free". Now that's really something.

24. I believe so, with "probable cause"
Probable cause is defined apparently as whatever abrogation of civil liberties the asshole with the gun and the uniform can probably cause.

27. Thank you; I understand...
I am very glad not to be living in the Land of the Free, I swear. There seem to be laws and regulations for any damn thing. Just wait until you have these thingamajigs implanted with your record for any assholes in a uniform instantly to be seen...

3. Omg I am so drunk and my car just got pulled over
Its crazy I was having a good time at a friends house and I made my mom and dad drop me off because I knew I was getting drunk so I was responsible and then my dad came to pick me up and I was drunk off my ass and as soon as he puulled in to the driveway to come get us at the house the cops pulled him over for left of center which is kinda weird cause in my town there is no center lines on the road. but anyways my dad was in my car picking me up and I was really drunk in the seat next to him and i was hoping the cop breathlize me because I'd fail and im only 16 and that just would not look good on my record.

Luckily he just got a warning and luckily i wasnt driving and I love DU.

5. Jeez. You need to stay away from alcohol if it does this to you.
Seriously. Your post is disconcerting.

At least you had the good judgment not to drive.

15. same here
plus I was up late last night and didn't wake up until late this afternoon, so I might as well stay up all night and watch the political shows in the morning. Typical political nerd stuff.

18. God, I know I am such a MOM...
but I want to ground you for getting drunk, because that's what parents do. And then I want to talk to your parents about enabling your choice to drink until drunk at such a young age.

I am glad that you didn't drive drunk...really, I am. But parents should discourage their young kids from drinking until drunk.

I really want to rant on this. But I'll keep it to myself. But I wonder--do your parents set any boundaries for you? Are you allowed to stay out as late as you like and drink as much as you want?

I only ask these questions because of the potential problems that alcohol abuse brings.

I know that teens will be teens, and you can't stop a teen from drinking if he or she really wants to...but parents should at least discourage underage drinking. Again, I'm glad your dad drove you to and from the drunk fest. My father wouldn't have allowed me to attend, period.

Parents should be parents, even when taking a stand is painful.

Ok...I've said enough.

21. When I was a teen
drinking was not the concern to me or my parents. It was mary jane. I believe mary jane impairs one in driving, but the after-affects are better because it keeps one from feeling nauseated.

Having said that, I also think the dad who helped his child is to be commended. My parents allowed some of us to drink in our home under their supervision, as long as the other parents knew, and it was the neighborhood, not others. One time, that was allowed by my parents, and I knew after that, that those under 18 needed more guidance, thus we knew not to allow it.

Today, there are lawsuits to be had.

25. I agree that parents should discourage it...
But at the same time I think at 16, if your kid is going to drink, you should at least teach them to do it in a resposible manner.

26. I think parents can allow responsible drinking, but not drunkenness.
My wife's parents - who were otherwise rotten parents - used to let my wife have a glass of wine with them at dinner in her mid teens. She wasn't allowed a second drink, but she often had a first.

My parents - who were otherwise very good parents - had a very prohibitive attitude towards drinking. (In my Dad's defense, his father was a horrible alcoholic, and so drinking was not a neutral issue for him.)

My wife never even came close to having a substance abuse problem.

I struggled profoundly with these problems in my youth; it seemed like I was always kicking something or another.

But I agree with you that it's another thing to let your kids get drunk. There is nothing good about drunkeness. On the other hand, I'm not sure total prohibition is a good thing either.

When my kids are in their teens, I will do as my in laws did.
