I'll spare you all my personal thoughts right now (not so fun talk with my dad), but was wondering a very simple question:
In New York state, what are the laws for a minor being in a location where alcohol is served? i.e. at 16 is it legal for me to go to parties and the like where there is alcohol? Also, how does the law change per situation (if the alcohol was free for instance)?
I've never had a problem being in bars or at any parties before as long as I didn't try to buy anything at the bar itself.
I'm asking because I don't have a car yet so if my dad gets into a little pissy fit about a party, I've got no real way of getting there. I figured it could be alright, since shit definitely won't be free, they'll probably want ID, and I don't feel like getting drunk this weekend anyway.

Looks like having alcohol in your system isn't even enough to get a minor in trouble unless there's evidence that he/she willingly and knowingly consumed it

This isn't about me getting in trouble for drinking, this is just, is it legal for me to go since I that's the best I've got to convince my dad it's alright (although I would not be surprised AT ALL if he was just making shit up because of our personal little rivalry...
- But honestly, I wouldn't drink anything unless they had a drop of Bombay Sapphs.– ismith

If he's concerned that you'll get in trouble, tell him that the only way for you to get convicted of an offense is if you drink
i just skimmed thru this document put out by NY Liquor board and it says nothing about criminal liability for being present at a party when there's alcohol. There's only liability hen the minor intends to or is caught willfiully and knowingly drinking

- He's concerned I'll live wilder life than his..... but thanks for the link.– ismith1/3

  omgosh i feel so old– detritus2/12
  Mon est une MILF. err... mére je voudrais baiser? Avec une fille de 16 ans... mmmmhmm– ismith3/12
  lucky, ismith. I had maybe three MILFs in my school. And one of them got married to the teacher across the hallway.– Jaline4/12
  she was the best. let me sleep in class, taught me tons of dirty words and other things I probably shouldn't mention– ismith5/12
  I was very very lucky ;)– ismith6/12
  who was pretty cute, actually. but they all let us know WAY too much about their personal lives (particularly marriages).– Jaline7/12
  You were pretty lucky to sleep in class, but I always got annoyed with those students b/c I couldn't bring myself to sleep in class– Jaline8/12
  It just seemed wrong :P– Jaline9/12
  bleh, i cant remember most of my french. she isn't a very effective teacher. 2 more years...one of them AP...– omgitsacamera10/12
  If I know someone doesn't like me sleeping in class, I try not to if I like them. But she actually let me make tea and lie down with a jacket under my head.– ismith11/12
  with a jacket under my head.– ismith12/12

my old bio teacher isn't going to win any beauty contests either. oh and her midwestern accent is so fucking annoying!
woman gave me a B in her class...
- My bio teacher looks almost the same... also fucking annoying voice... but from Vermont.– ismith1/17
  So used my smugmug for a slideshow for open house, she said she would give me extra credit: bitch gave me 1 point for it.– omgitsacamera2/17
  ..it.

  How huge is that guy? Or are the others tiny?– 5timuli4/17
  the guy on the left is very tall compared to the others, guy in the middles just big, teacher is small.– omgitsacamera5/17
  they're sitting on the wall btw.– omgitsacamera6/17
  1 point isn't shabby if it's tacked onto your overall/semester score...– ismith7/17
  but she said she'd give me at least 20.– omgitsacamera8/17
  I'd do her.– 5timuli9/17
  20 on your overall?! Seems like 20, like 1/5 of a test or something.– ismith10/17
  like it gets counted 20/1 on your overall mark.
  5timuli: ew.– omgitsacamera11/17
  that'd be a shitload of extra cred though, it's probably just weighted differently than a test or something. did you get an advanced breakdown of your grade?– ismith12/17
  advanced breakdown of your grade?– ismith13/17
  ever heard of schoolloop?
  thats how i know almost every score that goes in.– omgitsacamera14/17
  My school didn't allow extra credit anyway... although some teachers did let me get "extra credit"– ismith15/17
  I've said too much.– ismith16/17
  lol. most of my teachers are really impinable.– omgitsacamera17/17

Once when I was a teenager, there was a big party I really wanted to go to, but it was about five hours away. Asked my parents if I could borrow the car to stop by the grocery store. Then we hopped in the car, called them half an hour later and said I was crashing at a friends, and drove all the way to Wisconsin (from Illinois) and partied down. Came back the next day, they never suspected a thing.
- This isn't even like a party party... it's just some thing after workshops at TypeCon lol– ismith1/2
  my parents wouldn't be so easily tricked. they're just more strict about things.– Jaline2/2

"Alpha Crazy, a Celebration
Hyatt Regency
8:30 pm
(TypeCon2008 full-conference attendees only)
Get Alpha Crazy at the biggest typographic social event of the season. There’ll be plenty of food, drink, music, dancing, chatter, and the famous Type Quiz with emcees Allan Haley of Monotype Imaging and Frank Wildenberg of Linotype. Fabulous prizes will be available to type geeks with sharp minds and those who dress in their finest and funkiest party gear. Designers/DJs Dj Dr. Wisz + Scotty of Deja Blu will spin the tunes, and glyphic mayhem is sure to abound. This gala night of typographic madness is sponsored by Monotype Imaging with support from Linotype, and it's going to be the wildest Saturday night we've ever had!"
I mean come one, the only way I could get into less trouble at a party is if it was like a birthday party for a friend's baby sister or something...

LOL...yeah that is weird that your Dad wouldn't let you go. I mean, it seems useful to your career and stuff too.
- It's even AT THE FUCKING hotel :P– ismith1/17
  are you serious?– omgitsacamera2/17
  Although, you never know what might happen when you get a bunch of drunk typographers together...– ukit3/17
  Poor kerning? Uneven margins?– ukit4/17
  thats how comic sans got invented.– omgitsacamera5/17
  He's bipolar about everything... by the time it comes around he'll probably be making fun of me for thinking he wouldn't let me go.– ismith6/17
  me go.– ismith7/17
  my dad would just find a bar nearby where im going to drink guiness....– omgitsacamera8/17
  I love guinness... he'll let me have a little, but if one of his cans went missing he'd flip.– ismith9/17
  dude my dad has at least 5 cases in the garage....– omgitsacamera10/17
  Surely he doesn't know the exact number... one gone would never be noticed..........– ismith11/17
  My mom tries to use that info that I'm going out against me. Like I have to make it up to her. Sometimes it's envy, sadly.– Jaline12/17
  I guess I can't be 100% sure, but it always seems like envy. I never got the impression he actually wanted me to make my own life– ismith13/17
  own life really...– ismith14/17
  My parents aren't that strict though (any more). They're opposite each other in everything– politics, religion, art, etc.– ismith15/17
  So I usually have to just appeal to one and the other won't find out until weeks later.– ismith16/17
  Shit I better get some sleep... night everyone.– ismith17/17
