Google "LOLcats", you'll get all kinds of results. I'd never heard of them before seeing them here, either.

I first heard about the site from a co-worker at the vet clinic I work at and they're so appropriate for any situation! I luvs them!

No, it is not a matter of carding. It is a matter of a loophole in a law. I live in Louisiana, we are pretty good at those. You see Louisiana was the last state to adopt the legal age of 21 but after threatening to cut our federal funding lawmakers gave in, but left a few loopholes in the laws, such as the fact if you are 18 and accompanied by your parents you can legally drink. For this reason, we even have two different legal driving limits, one if you are 18 and one if you are 21, I do not know what they are.

Texas law also allows you to drink if you are underage IF you are in the presence of your parent or spouse who is over the age of 21. I had fun with this when I was first married - even though I was 21, instead of presenting my driver's license I'd give them my marriage license. Yes, I am easily amused.

I've been to several places in Texas that do not allow you to drink at 18 regardless of who you are with. I've also been to several places that do. Not sure how that works but it seems like I heard that it wasn't a law, merely a loophole that allows for it.

Well I've been up North and seen it a ton. The original preppy style (yes, that means popped collar) was pretty much invented in the Northeast, so it shouldn't upset you that much. It's a fact.

It would depend on how well-trained the bar personnel are - it is indeed legal ("the law") for underage people to drink with their parents/spouse. However, most places reserve the right to serve or not serve anyone, so I would imagine it is not "illegal" to chose not to serve a minor, even with their parents/spouse.

True..but why would a bar turn down business if it's legal?

My family has a summer home in Michigan, I go up there for state match play every year and stay for like two weeks (sometimes more).
