Not in Our House
A Nationwide Initiative on Underage Drinking and Social Hosting
It is common knowledge that it is against the law in the United States for young people under the age of 21 to drink alcohol. What is not commonly known is that many states and local jurisdictions are enacting laws limiting youth access to alcohol that are commonly called social host liability laws.
Social hosting is providing and/or serving alcohol to a young person who is under the minimum drinking age of 21. Social hosting can take place in a party-like atmosphere or by an adult simply providing alcohol to teenagers and their peers for them to drink. It can even extend to parents and homeowners who are not on the premises and/or did not provide the alcohol.
In an effort to raise awareness about social hosting and its implications The Century Council in cooperation with Scholastic Inc. and the International Institute for Alcohol Awareness, is proud to present Not in Our House: A Nationwide Initiative on Underage Drinking and Social Hosting.
