Days of Our Lives - Wed., Sept. 25, 2024

[Mrs. Clean]

We're 18 here too. Is Sophia 17? When I was 16 I worked at a fancy dinner theater as a bus girl and was not allowed to remove an alcohol glass, bottle etc. off a table, empty or full. It's illegal here.

So, if Sophia isn't 18, she could in trouble if this wasn't Salem

 

[Mrs. Clean]

Yup, and the Bistro would be fined too! Lol

 

[Poirot]

and why doesn't Days do something like that...

 

[rfsexton]

21 to drink in Texas. Not sure about serving.

 

[Jack Brady]

I'm not sure about serving alcohol in a bar or restaurant, but I sold cases of beer in a retail drug store in Texas when I was 16.

 

[Poirot]

Oh, wow.......that was "serving".........

 

[gramcracker]

In Illinois, an underage checker can't even check out a case of beer or bottle of stronger stuff.

 

[katmouse]

That's in my state too, Arkansas.

If someone uses self checking, the machine stops and someone has to verify the purchaser's age.

 

[Just Samantha]

So I guess all of this to say that rules vary wildly from state to state as to the legal age of drinking, as well as what age teens/young people can work at establishments that sell and serve alcohol.

 

[SouthernChick]

Katmouse, what part of Arkansas are you from? I’m from Arkansas too!

 

[katmouse]

I live in the NW Ark. Fayetteville.

And it's interesting to discuss, but we know if DUH PLOT required it, they'd show Jules and Carver slinging drinks at the Brady Pub from their pack-n-play.

 

[Poirot]

The funny thing to me........is that........I NEVER had an alcoholic drink in a restaurant or bar until after I was in my 20s. And when I had babies, I avoided in order to not contaminate the milk. And once you have babies & kids to take care of, you are very careful when out to dinner, 1 drink was it. LOL. Never even had a bottle of anything liquor in the house. I guess perhaps, with a divorced mom, no liquor ever in the house, just the way I was brought up.

Also, it varies by time period since laws change. (I haven't been 16 in a long time and I haven't checked current Texas law.)

Thanks for the write-up. This show was much better than the previous one. All the interactions were good too, and I'm so glad Sarah is clever in that she followed her husband. Looking forward to the next episode.
