DENVER (AP)- A Colorado republican lawmaker wants to make it legal for parents to buy alcohol for their children at bars and restaurants, if they were 18 and older but not 21 yet.

Sen. Greg Brophy is introducing the bill for the legislative session that begins Wednesday.

Brophy wants parents of returning servicemen to be able to buy their children drinks at bars or restaurants.

He says the bill would allow parents to buy their adult children drinks in any place that allows on-premise alcohol consumption.

Wisconsin has a similar law.

With parental OK, why not? They can vote, drive, marry, commit to contracts and join the military. But they're not responsible enough to enjoy a beer without the state's OK? Buy the kid a beer !
