I am legally at fault.
But he takes your beer from your home, which of course cannot be proven as it could have been gotten from the 7/11, goes 1000miles away and drinks it in his dorm. The police get word that he's drinking underage, so they send a $800 fine to you.

You pay the fine or you go to court to prove
1. the beer was not yours
2. your kid was not drinking beer on said date at said time.

Hell, the brand of beer he was drinking is the same as the brand you have at home, so you are responsible, so you're guilty as charged.

Any more clear on how this is ridiculous?
