And beyond that, it depends on how strictly the laws are enforced on the local level. In some regions they will ask you for your ID if they can not tell for certain you are above legal age. In other they propably know your family and know they would just buy it for you, so you could drink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 28 minutes ago, Cygnia said: Man who died in Yellowstone was looking for hidden treasure On one hand I suspect this man was taken in by a brazen hoax -- one the originator, if he is still alive, should have called off years ago and should call off now. On the other, even if it's real, burying treasure in a national park is grossly abusive. I'm not sure, but it might even be a felony, and is if nothing else disrespectful to some of the few remaining wild places in this country.

Michael Hopcroft Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 His place in history will be argued for generations, as will be the question of whether his "big-tent" evangelism was actually sound religion. But you can't deny he made an impact. And that is all I'm going to say on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattern Ghost Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 At first I thought the article had uncanny timing, but turns out it was from 2014. Regardless, it's a good example of why you don't want undertrained people armed around your kids. Netzilla and Bazza 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK you can drink wine or beer in a restaurant at the age of 16 if you are with your family and they purchase it for you. I have always found it odd that America is still so puritanical about drinking. That at 19 you are not considered responsible enough to buy a beer but owning an automatic rifle is fine.
