Holy crap my daughter turns 18 today | The Compost Bin | Forums

Thanks Sim.

No need to, there is no drinking age limit in Maine as long as you are in your own home under parental control

The legal age to purchase and consume alcohol in Maine is 21, which was instituted in 1987. Minors may consume alcohol at home in the presence of the minor's parents. Minors may not transport liquor unless required due to the minor's employment, or at the request of their parent, guardian, or custodian.

I've asked her ever since she was 8 if she wanted a beer, she still says no, when she was around 12 or 13 she got mad and yelled, stop asking me that!

I asked her if she knew why I occasionally ask her that question.

No she replied.

I said, honey, I don't want you to drink, but one day you will want to try one. I want you to know and feel comfortable enough to come to me and your mother to talk about it. We'll go get a 6 pack or bottle of wine and go sit by the pond. I would rather you do that then be out at a kegger or a back country road with a 30 pack where bad things can happen to you. 

She did go see 50 shades of grey yesterday though

lol

Did they change the drinking age? Some reason I remember it as being 19 when we would head over the border to Niagra Fall's in the late 80's.
