Well. I suppose you could, however your intentions may fall under some scrutiny...

If the parent of the minor says it's OK, they have authorized the supply to the minor. The law does not say the parent has to be there, nor does it say other minors have to be there.

A glass of wine at an Easter dinner would be an example. If the parent of a minor authorizes the supply of said glass of wine, then the host is OK to provide it. That is how the law reads, and is invoked to the best of my knowledge. Say it was a niece, or a nephew, for example.

It's just weird to me. I would hope that there was some overlapping law that would prevent one adult from allow someone child who is a minor, to consume alcohol even in their residence without the other parents consent. I would also imagine that the adult allowing the drinking still has responsibility to the safety of the children.

If not, party at my house this weekend.

I also though that it was weird that they specified that the adult has to be a "parent" to allow other kids to drink.

Ok, that makes sense. So if there were 20 kids drinking at the PMs house and at least 1 of the parents of one of the kids did not consent, then the law was still broken (hypothetically).

Then it depends on who supplied said alcohol. If the said kid brought in a mickey unbeknownst to the host for example, yes a law was broken, but not by the host. It would be either by the kid (for theft) or to the person who did in fact supply it.

Honestly who really cares if she was 18 or 19? Are we supposed to be more mature at 19 than at 18? Or would she not have got #### faced if she was a year older? Once you're 18 the government should not be able to tell you not to drink, period.

That's odd, for once puckluck said something i actually agree with.

Then shot gunning a sick pack of beer and belching loudly while flashing gang signs.

He's a Leafs fan.

Another reason not to trust him. Clearly his judgement is poor.
