Teenagers haven’t been allowed to buy beer in the US for a few decades! (And I agree completely: it should be an obligation of social welfare, not child labor, to compensate for the family’s ability to put food on the table. This is one of the reasons that most states limit teenagers to half-time or similar roles, which most non-Hoover-affiliated people again don’t object to.)

You're naive if you think that actually stopped people. The rich kids got their parents to stock them with liquor and everyone else had friend-of-a-friend's older brother.

  I'm not claiming that teenagers don't drink; I drank (a lot) as a teenager. Read the comment again.
