Drinking Age for Paris
In Canada, the legal drinking age is 18. In Italian households in Canada, the required drinking age is puberty. That’s just the way it is. Asking for a glass of vino is a rite of passage. I’ve always believed that if drinking and driving is the problem, don’t raise the drinking age (as teenagers are not the most likely of residens to comply), but set the drinking age to 18, and raise the driving age to 21.
Now comes the inexplicable human being with a great name, Paris, who manages to get out of jail and into house arrest, because of her frail mental state. I’m not a doctor, but that won’t stop me from giving my medical opinion: if she acts like she’s still a teenager, no responsibilities, no consequences to actions, etc, then she should be treated like that. If you can’t do the time, then you can’t do the crime: bar her from drinking and bar her from driving. Once she becomes real 18-yr old, ready to accept the consequences of her actions, let her drink. And three years later, let her drive.
