Using the old “if they’re old enough to vote and go to war” argument, a Colorado state senator wants to let parents buy drinks for their over-18 children.
They would still have to be 21 to buy drinks for themselves, under a bill that Sen. Greg Brophy has introduced in Denver.
The article mentions that 11 states already have a similar law and at least 40 states make one exception or another to the drinking age.What about Oklahoma?
According to the National Institutes of Health, which compiles a list of alcohol-related laws from all 50 states, underage drinking is legal on private premises, not open to the general public, where alcohol is not for sale, with or without parental supervision.
But the NIH goes on to give an exception to the exception: “Although Oklahoma law contains no prohibition against underage consumption of alcoholic beverages generally, the state does prohibit consumption of 'low-point beer' (defined as containing not more than 3.2 percent ABW) by persons under twenty-one unless under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian.”
