Sis wants me to buy her booze for senior week, am I being overly paranoid?

[ACE 1991]

I remember being in her position when I graduated high school and went on senior week and want to help out, but I also feel like I'm assuming a lot of risk here. If worst came to worst and she and her 8 housemates got busted, what is the likelihood that I'll be linked to this shit? Do cops really offer lighter sentences if those in possession rat on who bought it? She's asking for two cases of crap beer. There house is a decent distance from where everyone else in her grade is staying, so it's unlikely they'll be caught, but still...

 

[Mitch]

Just don't do it.

 

[doctordoak]

Don't do it

 

[BronsonLee]

You know the Nike motto?
Don't follow it.

 

[NegroNinja]

If you have to ask don't do it.

 

[Dishwalla]

What are you, Superbad?

 

[Reset]

Tell her no.

 

[Dereck]

...No

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Don't.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Do you really want to be that weirdo getting underage kids alcohol? The moment they step foot in college, it'll be growing on trees anyway. Let them wait a year and keep your hands clean of this mess waiting to happen.

 

[notworksafe]

Meh, as long as no one is driving go for it.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Be a responsible older sibling. Don't do it.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Buying booze for someone underage is illegal and if the authorities find out you will pay heavy consequences. Not only that but if they get busted they will pay too.

Its not worth it. If they insist on doing it, like all young people, let them do it without getting you involved. Be a responsible older bro and do the right thing.

 

[neemmss]

If you don't trust her, don't. If you do, then up to you.

 

[Valhelm]

Just do it. Two six-packs is nothing, and the chances of them getting caught are slim. Make her promise to not be an idiot.

Keep in mind that she'll be surrounded by liquor regardless. Buying her a few beers might prevent her from going to another room and getting loaded on jello shots.

 

[super-famicom]

Don't buy her booze. Co-sign a loan so she can go to an out of state university instead.

 

[this_guy]

It's illegal.

 

[GameGuru59]

If she has to ask you to buy it for her, she doesn't deserve alcohol. She'll get it some other way if she really wants it.

 

[teruterubozu]

Do you really want to be that weirdo getting underage kids alcohol?

Pretty much. You'll be the town creep.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Leave two cases of beer by the back door to their house without being seen

Tell no one

Plausible deniability

Or like just don't do it if you're that worried about it

 

[Vermillion]

Probably a bad idea, though Valhelm makes a compelling point...

Yeah, don't.

 

[Schweinehund]

Meh, as long as no one is driving go for it.

Same, take away keys. Old enough to Serve, but not be Served is such a dumb policy.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Don't do it OP.

 

[Veritigo_X]

What's senior week? Some sort of class trip? If that's the case I would say no.

But Valhelm also raises a good point. Chances are she'll drink regardless.

 

[GameGuru59]

It's illegal.

So? lol

 

[Azzurri]

Pretty much. You'll be the town creep.

No he won't. it's his lil sister, it's not like some creep off the streets offering to buy hs students alcohol.

 

[ThatGuyAgain]

One meh and A LOT of No's.

 

[entremet]

Meh, as long as no one is driving go for it.

Basically.

Americans have weird relationship with youth drinking. It's why binge college drinking is a thing.

Alcohol is this taboo thing so I must do it!

Let them learn how to handle drink.

 

[3Sixty]

It's 2 cases of beer.

Do it.

This, you can always say she stole it.

They're going to get booze anyway, this is one of the less risky/dangerous scenarios that they could get it.

 

[terribletwo]

Her teenage friends are going to think your sooooo coool

 

[teruterubozu]

No he won't. it's his lil sister, it's not like some creep off the streets offering to buy hs students alcohol.

Creepy brother.

 

[smokeymicpot]

It was for me going away for a weekend and just drinking.

She is going to get it anyway just help her out and say its a one time deal.

 

[entremet]

Pretty much. You'll be the town creep.

These are high school seniors. Not 13 year olds.

Man, did all you try beer at 21 on the dot?

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

I'm anti-Shia LaBeouf on this one, OP.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

They're going to have unlimited access, especially as girls, to all the binge booze they could want when summer is over and they go to college (assuming they are going to college) anyway.

 

[A Link to the Past]

OP, don't.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Don't do it bro. Teenage booze needs to be bought with the assistance of a creepy dude outside the liquor store. Don't rob her of this right of passage.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Make her promise to not be an idiot.

Make a 17/18 year old promise not to be an idiot with her first taste of alcohol while celebrating with drunk friends.

looooool

 

[Veritigo_X]

Sometimes it's just about helping out a younger sibling. I doubt OP is trying to impress his sister's friends simply by being older.

 

[Azzurri]

Creepy brother.

She asked him, he didn't ask her.
If anything he might get lucky with one of her friends.

As long as they're not driving I don't see the problem, what's the difference between 18 and 21? Not much.

 

[ant1532]

buy them mushrooms instead

There you go.

 

[Pinewood]

So how old is she?

Yep.

 

[Fuchsdh]

If I were in your situation, I wouldn't do it. It doesn't matter if you think your sister or her peers are mature or aren't likely to get into trouble, as proven time and time again teens can be idiots. I personally wouldn't want any culpability with any possible consequences.

There's a pretty radical difference between letting your kid have a drink at dinner and providing booze for a party.

 

[Alienous]

Could you be charged for it? Probably if your sister rats you out.

But she could have stolen it from you.

I don't drink, or really know about the penalties of this, but I can't imagine it comes back to you in a bad way.

But it's probably just not worth doing.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Don't do it.

 

[CrocMother]

Depends on how responsible she is, really.
