re: #69 Walter L. Newton

I grew up in Brooklyn… no one at the neighborhood bars care a whit if my father ordered a beer and gave it to me. Of course, at 11, I didn’t sit on a bar stool and chat it up with the other patrons, but the point is, if he grab a short beer and took it over to a booth where I was sitting, reading comics or something, no one batted an eye.

In Oregon, it is completely legal to provide your child with alcohol. Now, I imagine if you let them get drunk, you’ll be talking to DHS.

(Yes, I had to look this up. I had no other reason to know.)
