Bride-to-be arrested for drunk driving hours before wedding

This is not true, at least in Ohio. Anyone under the age of 21 is prohibited from purchasing alcohol, however, people under 21 can drink. They simply need, at least in Ohio, to be in the presence of their legal guardian (usually their parent, could be a spouse). Now, if I provided alcohol to my underaged child, and he then left my house/property/presence and went out in public, there could be an argument made for some sort of charge. And, I am prohibited from providing alcohol to anyone else's child.

I think the reason our OVI problems are so severe is that we seek to prohibit responsible alcohol consumption. Like some other areas we seek to prohibit here in the US.

I don't believe this is true in California, I think the adult would be charged with contributing to the delinquincy of a minor whether the child stays home or not.

Maybe, maybe not. I think many people assume something like this, and with our societal issues re alcohol, don't think about it too much. It would be interesting to see how much this varies state to state.

Yeah I don't know really I just assumed that.

Out here she would lose her licence for at least a year and pay a heavy fine, would have to appear in court also.

Were we just wondering what age is too young to be married...? Well, this gal is 31, old enough to get married but I have to wonder if age really counts when I read something like this. I just would not want to be in her shoes right now...
