Canine, please read the law closely. If you buy it for someone who cant you have broken the law.”M”, I’m not sure what your getting at. Real, Iybyu has it right. You can report to the police and or social service agencies. I dont understand, have you not realized that drinking is a major problem in the jewish community on purim? And that it extends throughout the year too. Iyhbyu, a mandatory reporter means as follows. Anyone who is in the following professions MUST report distribution of alcohol to minor to the proper authorities. EMS, police, firefighter, physician, social work, nurse, psychologist, basically any licensed or certified “caretaker” must report certain things to the authorities when encountered. In our times, we should not be giving alcohol to those who should not be imbibing. Its that simple. Once again, why havent people latched on to mitzvahs that dont involve alteration of mental status. And anyway, I dont recall ad dilo yadah as being listed in azharot of anyone, its not part of the 613, why is there so much focus on this one almost insignificant mitzvah (if it can be called a mitzvah at all). It disturbs me how far people will go to defend this practice. Its not safe, its not legal, it should be stopped. i’m no prohibitionist but those under 21 should not drink. Period.
