Young Stavros Has a Glass of Bubbly in Vegas

The Review-Journal has an article reporting that the county has put the nightclubs Tao (at the Venetian) and Body English (Hard Rock) on notice for admitting Paris Hilton's boyfriend, 19 year-old Stavros Niarchos on New Year's Eve:
'Both clubs were informed they had violated county code. According to letters sent to the clubs, the county decided not to issue citations because operators had cooperated with county agents.'
Yet, while the clubs confessed to admitting the underage Stavros, no one seems to have mentioned whether he was served or not. Check out this photo from Robin Leach's Las Vegas blog covering New Year's Eve that seems to show young Stavros at Tao holding what looks like champagne. Maybe he was just gallantly holding his love's glass. According to the Review-Journal Tao maintained:
'Niarchos was denied entry into the nightclub and instead hung out in the adjoining bistro, according to business license investigators. The problem was the restaurant was closed. Tables and chairs were removed, and a disc jockey entertained revelers.'
Oh yeah, and the ---shall we say---sparkling cider was served.
Please spell "Stavros"' name correctly! That is, Stav-ros, *NOT* Stra-vos. Whaddya think he is, some sort of Greek violin?

How awful for America, a country where you can shoot a gun at any age, but you are prevented from drinking, in public at least, till you are over twenty one.
How lucky for me! I grew up in the islands where nobody bothered, much, about how old you were when you had a drink.

Only a European could turn this story into a rant against Americans. Being from Canada I can say that I find the views American society seems to have on underage drinking and the right to bear arms perplexing (as gun ownership is nowhere near as prevelant here and the age of majority is 18 or 19 depending on what province you live in), but to lock down one's nose at a whole country based on the fact that your homeland largely tolerates underage drinking really ought to call into question your personal value system.
