Clubbin' In the Metro - Problem Solved?

Before I turned 21, the only way you could go clubbin' here in Springfield was either with a fake ID, or by sneaking in the back door and slipping a dime note into the hand of one of the friendly bar staff. Now, I'm not saying that I ever tested either theory, but, at one point, I knew the clandestine entrances of may of the town's hot spots.

So, here's the deal. Kids under 21 have now been kicked out of local night clubs. Voters resoundingly said that a bar was not the place kids need to be. I'm wondering:

• How will this effect business of the club owners?
• When it does, who will be the first to find a loophole? (rumors of a loophole are already flying around, but I've not looked at the ordinance enough to know).
• Have we put our kids in more danger?

Look lets be honest. Kids are going to do what they are going to do. If they get a burr in their rear end to hit the hooch, they'll do it at either a bar, at someone's house, or they'll find a field in the middle of nowhere and get hammered.

Over time, the numbers won't lie and I'll be very anxious to see the statistics for myself. Did we take care of a real problem, or did we just push the problem further out of sight so we don't have to see it?
