The War on Consumption
by Laurence M. Vance
Pet Peeve:
Beer websites have an honor system these days. You must make up an over 21 birth date in order to study brewery offerings. Underage people who desire to view a brewery web site will be stopped by this bogus honor system?
We drank underage for years with no help whatsoever from the internet.
Back in the old days-each of the 50 states was free to set its own drinking age. It was legal to drink as a teen in some states.
Went to high school in Kitsap County in the late 70s.
We started drinking when we were about 15.
Fake IDs (completely fake-not made to look like anything real) worked about 50% of the time to buy beer.
We never went without beer since about age 15.
Making mention of these memories is not to defend operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, legal or illegal drugs or marijuana.
Both major political parties are now OK with treating 18-20 year old adults as second-class citizens.
Now in my early 60s, I am frequently asked for ID to show that I am 21 when buying beer at major retail establishments here in WA.
