A closed meeting is closed to all but those with a desire to stop drinking.

Such distinctions are necessary so that people will feel comfortable sharing. If just anyone could come to any meeting, not much would get done.
Page 74: "The rule is we must be hard on ourself but always considerate of others."
This is the only "rule" in the big book, though in the "Doctor's Opinion" (xxix) Dr. Silkworth refers to "the only effort necessary being that to follow a few simple rules"
The trump card that lets us all hang onto whatever opinions we care to is on the last page, page 164, where we are told "Our book is meant to be suggestive only."

What is the law on drinking alcohol in a reasturant for seventeen year olds?
Underage drinking for 16-17 years old under parental supervision is permitted in most places. Laws could vary by country/states and usually it's legal for law enforcement to confiscate an alcoholic beverage from the hands of a minor. If you are not under parental supervision, the licensed premises are required to refuse selling you such beverages in the same way as if you would be going to the liquor store.
If you wish to enjoy a glass of wine or a cold beer, the easiest way is at home with parental consent. Sorry if that is not the answer you were looking for but laws are there for a reason and even at a mature age there is still laws to be followed. Remember these rules are not just for fun they exist to protect you and the people around you.

Can drink alcohol with methylprednisolone and alcohol?
Methylprednisolone (MPSO) is a corticosteroid drug used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory conditions. It is a powerful drug with many possible side effects, some of them severe.
Although there is no clear contraindication for use of MPSO with alcohol, it should be done with caution, since both are powerful drugs. Alcohol can suppress liver function when used over long periods, and MPSO is metabolized by the liver. Under conditions of reduced liver functions, the MPSO level could rise above the optimum and cause problems including psychotic episodes.
Since alcohol can also cause psychotic episodes, the combination could be problematic. We would recommend approaching the combined use of the two drugs with great caution, under the guidance of your physician and pharmacist.
Alcohol builds up in the bloodstream after a person consumes more than how many drinks per hour?
Most people metabolize the alcohol found in one drink consumed per hour.
If the person is a true alcoholic and continues to vomit for a few days after stopping alcohol consumption then its because the person is detoxing and getting the alcohol and withdrawal symptoms out of their system...which can be REAL bad. Shakes, sweats, vomiting, and bad withdrawal symptoms.
Does vomiting get alcohol out of the system faster?
Alcohol goes into your bloodsteam...so vomiting won't remove any alcohol already there. If you have some alcohol that is sitting in your stomach when you vomit...some of that won't have the opportunity to get processed and go into your bloodstream so it may reduce the percentage of alcohol that you would have ended up having in your blood...or reduce the amount of time that you are drunk
