This time we were out three hours and only got one person to agree. So, it seems to be working.Maya's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-75748837496695004712007-05-20T19:02:00.000-08:002007-05-20T19:02:00.000-08:00I very seldom drink anything alcoholic.

I have no objection to it but alcohol does not agree with me at all and at times has made me throw up violently, so I have no problem abstaining. :)Chancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888087428059834691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-67217661073608285782007-05-20T15:52:00.000-08:002007-05-20T15:52:00.000-08:00Ah, got it.

Then again, I've come to the conclusion that sanity went out with common sense, common courtesy and common decency. All I have to do is read the headlines everyday.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-75164416266681831022007-05-20T09:33:00.000-08:002007-05-20T09:33:00.000-08:00I've never been interested in drinking....liquor, ...I've never been interested in drinking....liquor, wine, beer...none of it really appealed to me. I will have an occasional drink at a special event, but it lasts me FOREVER. My vice is sweets. Now put some delicious cake or pasties in front of me, and I'm good to go. I guess we all have our addictions.<BR/><BR/>Kids trying to get adults to buy beer or liquor for them has been going on for a long time. I've never had it happen to me, and I can't imagine what rational thinking adult would be comfortable with it....remember, I said rational thinking.Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-33033572223948395452007-05-20T08:35:00.000-08:002007-05-20T08:35:00.000-08:00Pseu, When we do it they get a card that tells th...Pseu,<BR/> When we do it they get a card that tells them what could have happened if they had been caught actually buying alcohol for a teen. We have 14 year olds who look 14 and who say, "I'm 14 and they won't sell me beer. Will you buy it for me?" Unlike the poster, we don't let them actually buy, we only want an answer. Then we have a press release telling how many people we had to ask or minutes it took to get someone to agree. It is strictly to increase awareness, since teens get over 60% of the alcohol they get from adults.Maya's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-27996402244735633242007-05-20T05:05:00.000-08:002007-05-20T05:05:00.000-08:00teens hang out in the parking lot in front of a li...<I>teens hang out in the parking lot in front of a liquor store, with an ABC officer out of sight, and see if they can get adults to agree to buy beer for them</I><BR/><BR/>Isn't that considered entrapment though?
