Now the high school baseball players can comsume a real beverage rather than those sissy drinks they were caught with last year. "Smirnoff-gate" can be replaced by "Keg-gate" and immediately followed by "Championship Choke".

The only reason underage drinking is such a big problem in this country is because we make it such a taboo. In countries in Europe they let very young children drink wine with dinner. If you make something seem evil and mischievous of course teens are going to do it the first chance they get. On the other hand if you teach them from a young age how to handle it and that it isn't necessarily a bad thing, they learn a lot more from it without killing themselves. That being said, or course that ad shouldn't be on the site, thats ridiculous... The problem isn’t underage drinking, the problem is this nation of paranoia.

We used to have under age kids coming into our place trying to snatch up beers all the time and it has to stop and buck stops on the home front. The parents need to get in touch with their kids and keep track of what they are up to.

I have to believe this is some sort of rotating web ad and the N&R would rather that it ddidn't show up on their high school only sports web page.... If we are marketing beer directly to high schoolers, I believe we have a problem. It's tough enough for the kids today with all the choices they have to make and I don't feel extra beer ads are going to help them on the road to success or make the choices any easier to handle. A good thought for the day:As a high school kid, steer clear of BEER and let the High Life be a trip to Grandfather Mountain.... So now we take the approach, everybody’s doing it so it must be OK.

If your high schooler were only drinking beer I would think you'd be in pretty good shape. Who that reads this site didn't drink beer in high school? They are just trying to sell to the correct market, give them a break. Besides, just because there is an ad doesn't mean you HAVE to do it. C’mon Andy, what high schooler isn’t drinking beer?
