Question: What are possible penalties for an adult for purchasing alcohol for a minor?
Answer: You could be charged with something along the lines of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Although only a misdemeanor, you face could still pay a $2,500 and face jail time. If its your first offense, you're likely to be placed on a probation period with a small fine.

i dont think that parents should let there kids try smokes or alcohol because then they are putting there kids in danger of being addicted to it. once you try it you either hate it or like it. why take that risk? a real parent would think about the consecquonces of there kids action so i think that parents should not let there kids try these things

i dont think that they should let kids try to smoke and let them do drugs and try other things like that. because if you let them do it once they do it if they like it then there is a very good change that they can get addicted to it. then if they get caught by the police mabye selling drugs or something like that then they could get in big trouble. they could also die of cancer. so no i really dont think that it is a good idea to have kids try something like that at such a young age.

I think that people should let the kids try somkes and alchol because that way they would understand what it feels like and if the parents dont make a big deal about it then not many people will want to do it. I also think that if people want to smoke they should know the affects of what it does.

I believe that if parents don't make alcohol and drugs such a big deal than kids wont think they are such a bid deal. Many kids do drugs to rebel against their parents. I know it sounds stupid but the reality is that that is what is happening. Also if a teen wants to drink then they are going to find a way to do it. It is safer to provide a safe place for that, than to be at a party and to risk having something put in your drink. I personally don't do things like that but I I know a lot of people who do that sort of thing in really schetchy enviroments.
