Sorry Occifer, I Swear I Am 21
Check out this clip from last night’s NBC10 news about the crackdown on underage tailgaters at Citizens Bank Park. Highlights include:
· The age-old “we can fight in a war, we deserve a beer” argument. Sorry, dude, but the only war you should be fighting is the one to get into college. Ed-u-ma-cation! Worth fighting for!
· The beer all had to be poured out, on the ground, in the middle of the parking lot. As a seasoned drinker, and lover of a summer time Miller Light, that was seriously depressing. Hand it over to the old-heads please!
· The best part is that there were eight people cited for showing false ID to a Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement Officer! This is not the bouncer at Cav’s, dude. This is a cop. One who has been trained exclusively to ruin the fun of assholes like you; you cannot fool him with your fancy Kinko’s skills.

Cracking down on underage drinking is, I’d say, always a waste of taxpayer money, and government resources. The war/drink argument is hackneyed, but it’s still acceptable because drinking at 21 is a flatly bizarre law. Placing the legal threshold to go to war/vote for President/have credit/go prison/buy and own pornography/etc lower than having a beer signifies some kind of confusion. Plus, I think you can make the argument that the 21 drinking age actually encourages irresponsible drinking, which, of course, is directly contrary to its intended goal.
Sure, the kids are dumb, but so is prosecuting them.

It’s not waste of taxpayer money. It’s probably a revenue generator.

For the most part, it looked like nothing but Natty Light getting dumped, which, with all due respect Mr. Strug, is not “perfectly good beer.” It’s more like horse-piss priced so cheap that only 15 year-olds and/or Northeast Philly folk will drink it. I believe they add a shot of vodka to it and call it a “Skippy.” Or maybe that’s when you dip your cigarette in formaldehyde before smoking it. I get them confused.
