Apparently, They Have Never Watched an Episode of The Hills

Over at MSNBC, I saw a headline asking if Lindsay Lohan was served liquor on the night of her accident. Here is a shocker from a spokesperson from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (thanks to the AP for reporting the obvious):

underage drinking is a huge problem in the state of California

Well, no shit! How many times does TMZ or X17 have to film people stumbling out of clubs for them to get a clue? We all know that most government agencies are stupid, but what do they think is going down there? A bunch of people dancing on tables because they loved the club soda and Red Bull?

I love this line:

We do investigate any time we get complaints when someone underage is being served. Anyone under the age of 21 cannot be sold alcohol in California.

Cannot? I think that they can. Whether they should not be served is another story. Honestly, who is going to complain? The owner of the place who is raking in the money? The guy buying the drinks who is in hopes of attaining some underage road head on the way back to his condo? The underage person who worked so hard to get in there in the first place?

I'm not trying to sound high and mighty here about underage drinking. God knows the easy availability of alcohol is a reason many of us were so excited to get to college, but I laugh at the people acting like they are really going to be solving the problems they have with underage drinking.

That being said, I can't wait to hear what the next bureaucratic lackey is going to say when the AP starts digging around people abusing medical marijuana laws.
