18yr old - alcohol?

Wow, one way to get what you want by stealth.

Sounds a lot like bully tactics, using intimidation and bribery to convince people of what they want.

The feds did the same thing in the 70's to make the states have a 55mph speed limit, they tied it to highway funds.

Any state is free to do like Puerto Rico and simply opt out of the funding, especially if they think the increased revenue from taxes would exceed the loss.

 

 

 

Does RC care if you pour your own (carried on) wine to an under 21 at a dining room table?

I do not think the staff would say anything unless they know for sure the child is underage. Then they may get reprimanded or evicted from the ship. This happened on a cruise we were on where a family were evicted from the ship mid cruise due to underage drinking with the parents supplying the alcohol.

Interestingly, 45 states actually allow those under 21 to drink alcohol in various situations/locations. They just can't purchase it or publicly consume it.

Yes good point. Many states explicitly allow under 21 to consume with parents.

Was this because the kids were running wild?

Prohibition usually just drives the activity underground.

A series of events due to the Intoxicated underage child and the parents using their drink's package to get drinks for the 17 year old,

Then the subsequent abuse of staff by parents when pulled up on both factors.

Real class acts.:(
