Under Age Drinking Work Arround?

[trojanllama]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

Here is my proposed work around for MIP (Minor in Possession) or Minor Under the influence charges, tell me what you think. According to Texas state law:

"Underage Possession of Alcohol

Possession is prohibited WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTION(S):
• parent/guardian presence and consent
• OR spouse

Notes: POSSESSION: In Texas, a minor may possess an alcoholic beverage if the minor is in the visible presence of his adult parent, guardian, or spouse. Tex. Alco. Bev. Code Ann. § 106.05. CONSUMPTION: In Texas, a minor may consume an alcoholic beverage if it is in the visible presence of the minor's adult parent, guardian or spouse.

Underage Consumption of Alcohol

Consumption is prohibited WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTION(S):
• parent/guardian presence and consent
• OR spouse



Notes: POSSESSION: In Texas, a minor may possess an alcoholic beverage if the minor is in the visible presence of his adult parent, guardian, or spouse. Tex. Alco. Bev. Code Ann. § 106.05. CONSUMPTION: In Texas, a minor may consume an alcoholic beverage if it is in the visible presence of the minor's adult parent, guardian or spouse."


So my question is...I my parents and myself(Age 18) were to grant myself "Temporary Guardianship" of myself(Guardianship of an individual can be granted to anyone 18 or older,) would it, in theory, be legal to consume alcohol under age in the presence of myself(a guardian?)

What do you think? Genius or Ridiculous?

Utterly, completely, and totally ridiculous. And no judge on the planet will buy it.

You have to give me, that I'm creative. Doesn't it make just a little sense in theory?

Would it be more likely to work if we gave temporary guardianship of myself to a friend who is 18+ who would be around me when I am drinking?

Definition:

guardian
n
Someone legally appointed to manage the affairs of a person incapable of acting for himself, as a minor or person of unsound mind

Are you a minor or person of unsound mind?

[cbg]

It makes no sense at all in theory. Legal drinking age is 21. And even legal emancipation does not make other age-related laws go away. So nothing you've posted would do you any good.

And what makes you think we're interested in helping you find a way to evade the law anyway?

You can't make yourself a guardian of yourself. The whole point of a guardian is that they control the affairs of ANOTHER person.
