Anyone who would question a bunch of kids drinking root beer is past
intelligent discourse.
When my now 20 year old daughter (who is of legal drinking age in our
jurisdiction) came to me last Christmas and said "Uh, Daddy - I guess
you know I've had a few beer along the way?" my response was "Kid,
you're a 3rd year university student now and university students have
been known to hoist a few. I have enough faith in your training and
your good sense that nobody is going to be bringing you home in a
shopping cart!"
(That's a reference to Animal House for those who might have missed
it...)
She even went to Orlando, FL during spring break last year and apart
from "American men are such PIGS!" survived in fine form. According to
her Canadian men are more discreet and polite in their lechery. "Oh
Bayyyybeeee!!" from a guy in a moving car is not her idea of a pickup
line!
