A Special Reminder to Parents Hosting Graduation Parties
Article Submitted by: Lisa Hammel, Williams & Williams PSC
Parents: Don't Allow Underage Drinking at Your Home!
It's that time of year again --- Graduation Time! Unfortunately, graduation parties often include underage drinking --- which can, in turn, produce tragic events. The newspapers are littered with such stories this time of year --- DUIs involving high school seniors that result in injuries or death.
Parents, resist the temptation of being the "cool parent" by furnishing alcohol to your high school grad's party guests --- or by turning a "blind eye" to underage drinking (or smoking marijuana) at your home. If you serve alcohol to minors, or allow minors to drink at your home, you could be the subject of criminal prosecution.
