Illinois Woman Arrested For Hosting Underage Drinking Party
When it comes to underage drinking, things were much different back in the day. My parents would give me beer when I was a kid. Just a couple of sips to put me in a better mood. If a parent did that today, they would go to jail.
I remember being a teenager and going to underage drinking parties all the time. A few of my classmates’ parents would buy the booze and let us party at their house. There was a woman in my neighborhood who would charge teens to come and get drunk at her place. She did eventually go to jail for that one.
Times are a lot different now. You can’t allow minors to drink booze at your house. The parents would freak out and call the cops. Also, there’s way too much liability if someone gets hurt or is in an accident. It’s funny because I’ve been hearing a lot about people getting arrested for it lately. What are they thinking?
