the way alcohol laws work, they really only care about kids buying alcohol, if an adult lets them consume beer such as a family member its perfectly legal in most of the US. Its one of those holdover laws, like how enough women in a house that aren't related is technically a brothel.
its not really a law enforced much, because there are way bigger fines and punishments if an establishment sells booze to a minor. every old person has a story about trying one of their dad's beers as a kid. even in kids films it was normalized. OTOH EPI was also really normalized, every person i know over 40 has a story about finding pornomags in the woods.
but yeah drinking around family at a family function is common enough and so obviously different that only a freak would try to compare it with CP
this guy was about 40 and still offed himself? that sort of makes sense. he was halfway through life anyways, and the back half sucks, especially if he didn't have anything to live for.
fucking horrifying to think he was a corrections officer too. you'd think he'd be tired of talking about lolcows at work.
