After losing many friends to alcoholic related incidents, it pisses me off to hear about this. I was born and raised in New Jersey, and our laws here are strict, but for good reason. As another woman said, they take your license away even if you are NOT driving and still drinking underage, that gets taken away. There are 16 year olds who are told that they will not be able to drive again until twenty-something. I just wish they did it more in other states...esp. California whose roads are comparable to New Jersey's, except probably worse. I am only 20, so I have no right to speak about "kids", but I have seen too much stuff go down to even be remotely close to okay with this. She, along with other idiots like that, just reaffirm to everyone that people around my age are stupid.
When shit REALLY hits the fan, she will learn.
