That's not what the law implies at all. The law implies that they don't want people under 21 to be served alcohol because it's against the (stupid and backwards) law in the USA. I don't think you can find a valid basis for those laws that include "a child might be scarred if they see alcohol being consumed".

That's a great idea! But we need to lower the drinking age to 18 first, because people age 18-21 are NOT children, as much as the nanny federal government would like them to be.
