I Care Less for Clubbing...

...but DC Council's proposal for clubs allowing people under ages 21 would have passed if they banned them from selling alcohol to anyone.

"As soon as I heard about the ban, I thought it was the most ridiculous solution to a problem," said Bobby Azarbayejani, 16, a Winston Churchill High School student who formed the Facebook group. "What the ban is trying to say is that teenagers are basically the only ones that are at risk for getting shot at nightclubs. ... The bullet could have hit someone of any age."

Sami Tannouri, a senior neurobiology and physiology major, also opposed the proposal, calling it "destructive" and "hypocritical."

"They're taking away a safe form of entertainment," he said. "Teenagers will go out and get fake IDs, go to someone's house unsupervised and get drunk."


What Tannouri saying is true. While I have no interest in clubbing, clubs under 21 would be safe place if they get rid of the alcohol. If the Council did their research instead of making bills at the spur at the moment, we would not be having stupid bills like this one.
