GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Under Wisconsin law people under 21 can enter bars and other alcohol-serving venues when accompanied by a parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking age—each establishment decides if minors may drink. The law sets fines up to $500 for establishments that violate these rules.  FDL Reporter
