It was just a fundraiser. Thats all these laws really are. get over it. There is no such thing as sanity anymore. Its like Ciggerrette taxes, they tell you its to stop you from smoking, but they whine and bitch when people stop smokng and thier tax revenues go down.
No better than street corner dealers. at least they are nicer to you when you give them your money

A foul situation the US has indeed.
Think of it; you can be in university and underage. *Shivers.*

Of course everyone I know started with schnaps at 14 and moved to beer when older, it´s not like it is really enforced over here. We were all drinking in a bar (How to translate Biergarten?) at that age (14/15).
*German beer, not that brown water reportetly avaiable in the US.
No it's not!
And surely the German armed forces wouldn't have many privately owned guns at all?

You usually aren't going to go to jail for just being drunk underage. If you get a real asshole of a cop you can get tossed in the drunk tank overnight. Generally you'll either get a warning or a fine.Oberleutnant wrote:Is this common in USA? I had no idea the police could fine for underaged drinking or put you in jail, even if you haven't done anything "stupid".
Drinking and Driving and shit like that is a whole nother matter.

I find thing easier to enjoy things when the only thing that is impaired is my hearing, somewhat.
