As for the parental exception, approximately 30 states allow it. Here’s how it generally works:

A minor under the age of 21 can legally drink alcohol if given the drink by his or her parent (or legal guardian), and in the presence of his or her parent. For example, a minor can legally drink alcohol in a restaurant, as long as the child’s parent orders the drink, and gives the drink to the minor without leaving the presence of the minor. However, if the parent gets up and goes to the bathroom and the minor takes a sip of alcohol without the parent being present, then the parent can be in violation of the law.

"so, what are you in for?"

"my Dad went to the restroom. They came out of no where man!"

Well, I guess the parent would be the one that got in trouble, but still...
