Apparently word of Wisconsin's alcohol problem has reached the East Coast. In fact, it's in the New York Times. This is fairly humorous, fairly sad/scary. Here is a little preview:
“If they’re 15, 16, 17, it’s fine if they want to sit down and have a few beers,” said Mr. Whaley, who owns the tavern in this small town in southern Wisconsin.
Oh, our dear eastern neighbor. I am solemnly sorry for taking advantage of your alcohol problem by driving to Hudson to buy beer on a Sunday. It will not happen again. I am cutting you off!

You drive to WI on sundays to drink?
Oh WI. I hadnever had a beer until I moved to WI. Much thanks!
I haven't lived in 'Sconi for a long time, but I'm happy to see not much has changed. Ha ha. What kind of parents take young children to a bar? Oh, wait. I grew up running around in my nightgown at my grandparent's bar... And look how well I turned out! :)
No, I do not drive to Wisconsin on Sundays to drink. However, when you have a party on a Sunday night and you forget to buy drinks Hudson is helpful.
i have no problems with teenagers drinking. in fact, if they go to a bar, have a few drinks, get a ride home, avoid beating their mom, then they could serve as a good example for quite a number of 21+ drinkers.
