How soon is too soon? I’m guessing they probably started feeding them drinks around age 13, thought it was funny.
If you ever had friends or family go try and identify their child after wrapping a car around a tree driving drunk you’d know it isn’t funny at all. And the sooner they start, the more likely they’ll be to drive after drinking.
After all, they got a great example of it from the OP’s own description that unless they walked they were driving impaired, so drinking and driving is just fine.

Holy crap, going out is expensive now
It's out of control.
4 weeks ago me and the wife were at Rosemary Beach and we stopped by a restaurant bar while walking to the beach to get her a cocktail. I already had by beer in hand. I ordered her a double cosmopolitan on the rocks. With tip it was $42. Insane.
Never will go back.

Went to the Texas Club last year to see Shane Smith and the Saints. Had a great time. Don’t remember how much it cost.

If you think that is something go out in NYC or Vegas
Actually last time I went out in NYC, four of us sat a bar near Time Square, O’Donoghue’s, until closing (4am), got pretty ripped, and the tab was $150, but we were putting down some drinks.
I was actually drinking Rip Van Winkle at $14 a shot. I drank nearly the whole bottle in two nights.
Here’s the receipt from the second night, because I knew people wouldn’t believe RVW was only $14. And the bartender was free pouring, heavy handedly.
Funny thing is Buffalo Trace was $22 a shot, and Blanton’s was $32 a shot.

And you had to listen to the most annoying, gimmicky band of all time. I feel for you, mate. Japan will be much more pleasing to your senses.

Any drink any coin was the most epic time if you're a binge drinker.
"I want a Jack and Coke, here's a penny"
Only time I went to Texas Club. Mall city was nearby and rough.

Yea let’s encourage our underage kids to drink alcohol so one day when you get a phone call telling you that your child just hit head on with an 18 wheeler or wrapped around a tree because they were drunk, at least we can rest easy knowing we were cool parents huh?
To the 6 downvoters I want you to know you can dislike this opinion all you want but it still makes yall sorry unresponsible parents for doing this with your underage kids.

Should have snuck in some hootch in a ziplock bag stuffed down your pants and then spiked your coke. Much more economical.
As for me, I only drink beers I sneak onto the golf course. I REFUSE to pay $6 a beer and instead bring some from home. Improvise adapt overcome

We allowed our daughters to drink in high school, but had very strict rules.
You call me at 2am because you are drunk, and everyone else is drunk, I’ll come get you, we’ll hit Waffle House on the way home.
You call me at 2am because you got a DWI, you gonna sit in jail a couple days.
We knew when they were drinking because we bought it for them. If they went out and drank without us knowing, that would have been the end of that trust.
Funny thing is, both my daughters said the worse kids were the ones who their parents didn’t allow them to drink.
We would buy our daughters their alcohol when they went out. Now granted, I’m talking about special occasions (prom, homecoming, etc). They were not drinking every time they left the house. There was many times we would drop them off and pick them up at a party or dance.
My youngest isn’t a big drinker. I’ve never seen her drunk. I only saw my oldest drunk a couple times. Both times, we picked her up (planned to ahead of the night).
Teenagers are gonna drink, we just managed it correctly. If they were having friends over and they were planning on drinking, we had a rule that we had to hear from the parents of who was coming over (approving they could drink), and we would take all keys if they drove.

Ever drink and drive with your kids? From your comments I would doubt it.
Unless the OP walked or had someone else drive them they gave them the example it’s perfectly fine to drink and drive, which certainly would fit the story they told wouldn’t it?

I didn't realize the teenage drinking thread was a spinoff.
Hey Sir, you don't have to start additional threads to validate your opinion.
If the OT doesn't agree with you, that's OK.

We didn’t drink much and our tab was $130. That was 4 adults and I snuck my 18 yo daughter a couple drinks.
Got back from Costa Rica recently on a trip with three adult kids, 24, 19 and 18. At the end of six days I closed the hotel bar tab at $725.00, and added a $100 tip (ten percent is customary there). I feel your pain.
I'll ask it again, how did your daughter like the show? The first time I saw Cowboy Mouth was at the Chimes when it was still a music venue and Fred LeBlanc climbed up the speaker stack and was hanging from the exposed rebar in the ceiling. I'm curious how a "new generation" kid liked their kind of show.

Wife was medivac'ed to Anchorage. I'm staying in the hospital room with her, a cheap room per night here is $300. A decent room is $500.
The US govt is fricking us all over to indicators high, which is hurting the little guy.
We are going to have to accept a declining economy. People will lose money, but it needs to happen.

$130 for 4 people and you're complaining?
