A rare victory for common sense
As much as I'd like to go to bars without being surrounded by underage 19-year-olds with daddy's credit card and a taste for the music of Lil' John, I'm glad the police can't make arrests for underage drinking.
It's good for the economy, it's good for stopping binge drinking and it's good for the cops, who have better things to do.

Totally agree. I wish council members would look back with fondness, rather than regret on the formative drinking years between 18 and 21.

I agree, but the MPD probably doesn't: if they can't spend time chasing underage drinkers, they have to chase the killers and muggers. And that would be dangerous!
