Wisconsin’s confusing law when it comes to underage drinking (CBS Green Bay)

Democrats have tried overturning this, but the GOP gerrymandered legislature stands in the way.

Even many Democrats are against overturning it. It is very much a part of Wisconsin culturally - German and English families at the pub together, Italian or even French immigrant families having wine together at a restaurant - and memories of their own times with family at the bars in small town WI which often are the only place for everyone to hang out together. Bar owners are not legally required to allow the minors to consume but I can’t remember the last time I saw one that didn’t.

Of course it can lead to humor such as the time we attended a wedding in Chicago and my then 17 year old nephew there with his parents tried to get served and got a long rant from the bar tender about how this “wasn’t Wisconsin”.
