i was out with my mom and we went to go eat at applebee's and i said i wanted a strawberry daiquiri.
i didn't specify virgin or not, he didn't ask me anything or or asked me for ID.
i'm 17 but look way older.
i got it and it tasted funny? idk. i've had many times the virgin daiquiris but i don't have a good taste sense. my mom drank it and said there was alcohol in it but even she couldn't tell for sure. lmao

Waiter should have asked. However, it happens. Especially if the bar is busy.

We do that all the time. Go to a busy resturaunt, order non alcoholic drinks, just knowing they will not realize and add the appropriate alcohol.

No one is really at fault. Well, in my situation we are, since we know its going to happen lol

Wtf. No, it's not.
Drinking under the age of 21, no matter who you're with, is illegal. And a parent can be charged with providing alcohol to minors...if they provide it, obviously. Kinda left that out the first time.

If your mom was there it was nonverbal consent, however, it is technially policy for them to ask you.

In some states it is legal if your parent provides you with the alchol in your own home...

your an idiot. If you are not with your parent or legal guardian, its illegal. Its illegal for someone else's parent to give someone else alcohol. IF you ARE with your parent, its legal.
I know my crap

It IS legal.  You can be served alcohol in restaurants and bars if you are with a parent or guadrian.

Drinking under the legal age is ILLEGAL...no matter if you're with your parents, your guardian or micheal jackson.

Just like buying it anywhere, some workers fail to follow the LAW and risk not only there job but there life.

There lucky you didn't drink abunch and drive, killing someone. Then not only are you screwed, there going to be screwed and the place there working at is going to also.

Just alittle food for thought, think before you provide Alcohol to minors(even if your a minor who's providing to another).

This.  Except it's supposed to be your parent giving it to you instead of the waiter just going ahead and doing it.  Maybe?  I don't know exactly.

Alcohol laws are controlled by the state not by the federal government there is no law that governs every state even the drinking age of 21.  When the drinking age was changed to 21 it was because if states did not increase it they would loose their federal funding for their roads.  The agreement said nothing about legal age when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.  In many states it is perfectly legal for your parents to get you a drink while you are out at a restaurant.  In almost every state it is perfectly legal for you to drink on your property as long as one of your parents are home.  In other states you can even transport alcohol in your vehicle if you are over the age of 18 and it is closed in the trunk.
