Perhaps I'm wrong to find it comical that Jenna Bush was once again busted for underage drinking. At Chuy's of all places, where I had my wedding reception, and where even Nigel was once asked to show his ID.  I admit their margaritas are worth bending the law a bit, but wouldn't she notice that using a fake ID is intrinsically flawed?  Being that she's famous and all...

I remember being let in to Cheers, the other bar she was busted at, when I was 18.  It's not that hard to sneak into clubs and bars on 6th street, but I think the secret is not being famously underage. 

I must confess though I did get caught out once in 95 when I walked up to the Conoco service station (the one that will sell you beer with the fake ID, you know the one Jenna *wink*) and tried being my friend's "decoy" buying Laffy Taffy, or some such non-alcoholic purchase.  My friend asked me to hold the beer for her on the way home so she could tie her shoe, when the University of Texas cops quickly descended on us.  I threw the six pack of Pearl beer into the bushes (then they were .50¢ a bottle and we were probably using them for the annual Easter "beer hunt" or to stock the Coke machine with).  I was only reprimanded with a warning, but shit, it scared me.  I didn't even buy it, nor did I intend on drinking it.  It's good to see that they're even-handed with the law in Austin when it comes to busting underage drinkers.

Living in a country where the drinking age is 18, I feel like I've been ripped off.
