Not really.... it smells like shit right now because the farmers just dumped liquid manuer on all the fields... theres no mountains, we don't get much snow....

Some of my friends have gone to a bar with their dad and had a few brews though.... I just have someone old enough buy it or take it out of my garage.

i dont understand why this is such a big deal, lots of states have the same law. i grew up in texas for the most part and when my dad and i were in DC one time we were shocked that i wasnt allowed to drink with him when i was 17.

I think its preposterous not to allow minors to drink if their parent is there.

alcohol has such a taboo in the US, and that is why binge drinking happens.  i can drink legally and even then my parents don't like me to have a beer.  if i have a .22 when I get off work, my dad accuses me of being an alcoholic.  when i pound a few jaegerbombs with breakfast I get these funny looks.  just kidding about that last one, but its lame.

the only way to break the taboo is to eliminate the stigma associated with alcohol and young people.  I curse around my parents, talk about sex, and am pretty comfortable with them, but they do not approve of me drinking just cause I had one alcoholic grandma.

Did anyone see the guys face on the right after the one host was saying he agrees with the law? It was hilarious haha.

But ya, I think the law is a good thing. If we were more like Europe there wouldn't be nearly as bad of a problem as there is now.

I won't lie to you. I didn't know that there is people that think that is strange. I specifically remember going to my uncles bar, and my dad letting me have a few sips of his beer.

People are dying overseas at the hands of our country, and this is what they decide to report on? this is why i cannot watch television... utter disappointment, today people are so oblivious, so clueless as to whats going on in the world.

and yea whats the big deal? they are with there parents.

The 500 foot maximum elevation and 10 winter months with only a few of them having snow. Not my idea of a good time.

Wisconsin is sick, when i came here from Mass i thought it sucked, then i went back to Mass and realized how sick Wisconsin really is living here is real fun. Everyone here isnt ashamed to report there drinking that is why they lead the country in Binge Drinking every year, it's no big deal.

the beer that built milwaukee!!!! they just brought back the old recepie making it even more delicious!!!!!!!!!

sconnie is a rad place to grow up, except for the lack of mountains, but there are local hills that are fun for what they are, and a bunch of good skiiers got their start in wisco.

i didnt ever really think it was all that great until i moved away

also, grand g blows.
