The Long Beach City Council in Nassau County just approved a similar bill - holding parents responsible for underage drinking in their homes. The law makes it a crime to serve alcohol to minors who are not family members.

"minors that are not family members" that's only in Nassay County, but in this stupid NYC and with this crazy mayor, they want to make the law, even for family members.

That's why I am staying in Monsey where you can still give your kid something to drink. BTW,,,Can you serve chocalate covered rum balls at a shalom zochor (or shalom nekaiva)in NYC? I once got pretty high on them.

In France children grow up drinking wine. I don't hear that the French have any problems with that. I don't think a little kiddush wine or a l'chaim schnapps shpuld be a problem, in moderation of course. If it is in the privacy of one's home and no one gets shikker, then the law needn't find out about it.
