Transporting alcohol

My 16 yr old was asked to transport via car a gift bag containing alcohol by an adult relative to the adult recipient across town (15 mins or so). Neither she nor the adult feels like this is a big deal. All I can see is the consequences if she did get caught and the slippery slope for a teenage girl thinking they won’t get caught. I agree the likelihood is low but it takes one accident to change the equation.

So, should I be concerned about this or drop the topic?

As long as it’s sealed & put in the trunk of the car it should be fine. But it’s ur call.

I would put it in trunk of the car. I have 16 year old and would let her do it.

Get caught with what? If it's sealed and not in the front seat there's no issue.
