DENVER - It could be legal for underage teens to drink with their parents if one Colorado lawmakers has it his way.

A proposal to allow people between 18 and 21 to drink alcohol with their parents is up for its first review.

The so-called ``Drinking With Dad'' bill from a Republican senator would allow parents to buy alcohol for their children at Colorado bars and restaurants if they were 18 and older but not 21 yet.

Senator Greg Brophy is planning to introduce the bill Wednesday.

He says he thought of the proposal because he and his wife recently took their daughter to dinner to celebrate her 20th birthday, and she couldn't have a drink with them.

" if one Colorado lawmakers has it his way. ".. You sure you didn't have a sip prior to writing this? I think the Bill is going to flop and we all know it's just to get attention.. So please waste my time with more important matters and please do it with some grammatical grace!

This is almost too stupid to comment on !! What a boost for the economy. NOT! It's hard to believe lawmakers actually get paid for things like this.
