Underage Drinking

Several states have passed laws that punishes adults who allow underage drinking in their homes. Some states, however, find it permissible for adults to allow their own children to drink in their home. This has caused some adults to believe that they can provide alcohol to other people's children.

It is difficult, however, to prosecute these individuals. They are only brought under law enforcement's microscope when the underage drinker has caused some type of damage; whether to themselves or to some innocent bystander.
