If You Drink, Don’t Type
We already know that Facebooking while drinking can get you in a lot of trouble, because you’re more likely to be looser with typing, what with your judgement being all impaired and whatnot. But posting pictures of yourself drinking in a public restaurant, when you’re not legal age, not only gets you in trouble with the law, but also gets the restaurant in trouble.
While you might think it’s cool to brag to your friends that you were able to served in a restaurant when you weren’t yet legal age, it’s probably a better idea to boast in person rather than online, where your drinking exploits are announced to criminal investigators, police agencies, by-law enforcement officials, and other authorities who use your Facebook information as proof of your silly antics.
Adults already understand that posting pictures of their wild parties or other drunken adventures can cause them their careers, or jeopardize their chances to establish them. You’re just facilitating them by promoting your dark side on Facebook.
Showing pictures of yourself having a glass of wine at a family dinner might be one thing, but underage drinking is still a serious offense in many regions, and there’s no reason to facilitate your own demise by promoting your underage drinking on Facebook. As you can see, it’s just going to get you (and others) in trouble.
