It is illegal to provide alcohol to minors and now it is illegal to provide a place for them to drink it. During the 2014 legislative session, the Indiana Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking worked with legislators to pass the social host law, which was part of SB 236, makes it a Class B misdemeanor for adults knowingly and intentionally provide a place for minors to drink. The offense becomes a Class A misdemeanor if the person has a prior unrelated conviction; and a Level 6 felony if the consumption, ingestion, or use of the alcoholic beverage is the proximate cause of the serious bodily injury or death of any person. “This new law is a great tool for law enforcement to use in their efforts to disperse and disband underage drinking parties”, said Lisa Hutcheson, director of the Indiana Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking. “We hope that parents and other adults understand the criminal and civil liability of providing a place for minors to drink and will not become a party to underage drinking”. The Indiana Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking, a subsidiary of Mental Health America of Indiana, is an advocac y coa l it ion, add ressi ng t he ava i labi l it y a nd accessibility of alcohol to minors through education and policy.
