	I heard about this law today, and I find it ridiculous!
By the way the drinking age in NJ is now 21. I throw a party. 
Lots of people show up, some that I don't know, whick certainly
is possible. There are lots of people there and there is no
way to keep track of everyone. Some jerk leaves tanked. He happens
to have a party flyer and they stick me with the bill. Come on,
now!
	I don't let friends leave my parties drunk. I can usually
tell who at my party has been overindulging(assuming I haven't been
guarding the keg all night!). What am I supposed to do if someone
says they're not drunk and I think they are? Tie them down? Knock
them out? Call them a cab? What makes you think they'll get in the
cab when it gets there? Last year I had a Kentucky Derby party.
A good friend of mine looked OK when he said he was leaving, but
I knew he had been drinking. I asked him if he was all right. He
said yes. I let him go. He ran into a fence racing another one
of our friends. He was OK; his car wasn't. What should have I done????
	This law is unrealistic as far as human nature goes. And
as the previous submitter stated why the hell should I watch out
for every jerk who drinks too much at my party? They're old enough
to take care of themselves!!! I am not my brother's keeper!!!!
This law is obnoxious as telling me that I have to pay for airbags
because a bunch of people won't wear seatbelts. NO WAY, JOSE!!!!
	One things for sure...I won't be having anymore wild
parties. Small parties with a few close friends, maybe. Big,
wild parties, never!
	Enough flaming for now. I could go on and on with this
one.
