Last week the city police raided a few clubs and found a few youngsters who were drinking illegally.
Underage drinking is the evil temptress. It would be a pity for a new restaurant such as Box 63 to fall so quickly because it couldn’t hacker there near impossible task of screening underage student drinkers.
I was once am underage drinker. But I was never an arrogant one. Stealing from your family’ s liquor cabinet, or asking an older friend to buy for you is one thing. Endangering a business’ liquor license by lying to its staff is another. Even when I doctored my IDs so I could get into club shows (couldn’t have seen Cheap Trick and Pezband at the Paradise in Boston in 1978 otherwise), I’d be too scared to drink once I was in the club.
It’s sweet talking vs, subterfuge, and I prefer the former.
