I agree with you.
However all Teenagers had been drinking as well on that tragic night. We look back on our past as teenagers we had done the same thing as well .IMO
In the 1980's, I confess teenagers and myself at the age of 15/16 years (legal Age was still is 18 years in Australia) attended a party by Adults and drank underage. There were sore heads the next day, the worse was for me yes I got a bit drunk however my foster carer (who was at the party) not only informed me, my disgraceful attics they also called my school, local church and phoned all my friends to inform what I had done.(All turned out to be untrue) I asked the host not only denied it but showed party video which showed I was asleep on couch . When said my carer was about to inform my Welfare Officer (Stint in the Reform Girls Home for a few weeks would be good for me she said), I was grateful to my host and kids at the party showing the Carer was at the party as well with me while I was drinking sitting next to me. They said they would be happy to show the Welfare Officer this and the police. Well she still mention it to my Welfare Officer, the Welfare Officer laughed it off stated all teenager try it. .
I never again drank underage again. Host next parties were for adults only
IMO The teenagers if the young girl had not died that tragic night and other person injured would had continued to drink under age. IMO The Adults would had still allowed their children to drink under age.
Totally agree, so sad Mallory died that night, but as you say had she not died that night, they would have been picked up and the boat towed.
