Prompt 13 Drinking Word Count:300

Teens under the age of 18 or older should not even be drinking it is their fault that they have even done it. I don’t think parents should be punished or should take all of the blame for kids to drink. They know better not to it is their choice whether they want to follow it or not. The mother that provided the booze to the kids thought it was safe and she even took all of their keys to make sure. In the end a couple died because they drove while intoxicated. This incident cannot be excused it was the parents fault that provided the booze and she should get the worst possible consequence.

In the other hand it is not just parents providing booze to their kids, teens will be asking others that are already 18 years or older to buy it for them. Manly it is about choice. It is really the teen that wants to drink and they should suffer the consequence. I would want to band alcohol but it will just lead back to the old days when the government tried to band alcohol which led the creation of the bar where everybody can get alcohol without getting into trouble. This led to more violence because Americans wanted to have it. So the government ended up bringing back alcohol to even out problems, which goes all the way back to parents raising the children right and making sure they make good choices.

Parents and teens should get the same consequence due to the irresponsibility of parenthood. I would say the government and law should not be easy on any teen which drinks because later on in life they will only want more. They should be punished in the beginning so they wont do it again.
