What should be the punishment for a minor in possession alcohol charge?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 18, 2005

“They should have to clean the bathrooms and clean off the sidewalks in front of area bars.”

“If I was the cop, I would just call their parents and let them handle it.”

“Between 18 and 21, I think it's ridiculous. Under 18-year-olds should get community service for the first offense.”

“I would say for a first-time offense, a $100 fine would probably be enough.”
