I think it gets overlooked in these threads that there are major alcohol-related risks other than DUI.

Not quite as relevant here, but the corollary is that there are risks related to driving other than DUI. Pretty frequently we read about people smashing shite up with their cars, and the immediate question is "was the driver impaired?". Frankly, if you put your Ford Taurus through my picture window, I don't particularly care if you were high on PCP or just life in general when you did it.

This was common in Ville Platte in the 90’s.

The liabilities are immense. That happens in your house and one of those kids dies or gets injured an even a somewhat competent lawyer will rip you and your cash flow to shreds. You basically are done financially let me add you are probably going to jail when the DA is through with you.

I was 14 as a freshman. You could get your driver's license at 15 back then. We had many friends with their license and their own cars at 15.


Yep. It was different growing up in the 70s. Laws were different and laxed attitudes towards drinking were the norm. My Dad bought me my first beer at a church fair at 15. One night I was trying to beat curfew and got pulled over about a mile from home for speeding. He asked me if I was drinking and I said yes. Asked me a few more questions then said get in the car and he followed me home and talked to my parents. I was 16. Not saying it was right, just a different time.

I didn't let my kids do all the things I did. We evolve as a society. Some for the better, some not. You have to be nuts to have drinking parties for minors in today's world.
