I was addressing the fact that one of them was drinking alcohol is neither unusual and likely irrelevant. You are translating drinking alcohol into drunk, which is not a given. You are also throwing in pawing, slurring, and staggering at 7 to 8 PM, which is not a given either. While I think the kids shouldn't be there, everyone seems to be projecting the worst dive bar scenario they can think of.
