It’s hard to fault Representative Ty Harrell (D-Wake) for wanting to do something about (or to)adults who provide alcohol to teenagers, particularly with the highly publicized underage drinking tragedies in his own county.
I don’t think the connection between teenagers’ beer and grown-up’s driver’s licenses is clear enough, though. Let the punishment fit the crime, it seems to me; maybe the enabling adult should pay for the teenager’s auto insurance for the next five years.
As father of a couple of teenagers, I guarantee that would hurt.
