I've been following all of these legal discussions concerning underage
drinking with interest and concern.

One point that doesn't seem to have come up is this - giving a child strong
alcohol (outside of pescription or normal doses of appropriate
non-perscription remedies) has conetations in the law beyond simple
licensing and distribution issues - it could well be deemed to be child
abuse.

For my part.. Steve was the only one with an actual O'Reilly relevant
Tee-shirt on.  Assuming he can't win his own competition I would be happy to
share a glass of water with Mark's daughter and pass the pint to Nik.  I
promised Nik a pint, but his alcohol register was suffering from an overflow
at the time...
