Prevent Underage Intoxication and Potentially Save Lives

Underage drinking and drug use can impact a teen’s health, safety and judgment, leading to consequences such as alcohol poisoning, cannabis use disorder, assaults, drunk or drugged driving, accidental injuries, property damage and unprotected sex.

All 18 incorporated municipalities and the unincorporated areas of the County have adopted “social host” ordinances, making it illegal to host underage drinking or marijuana parties. Any person who sells or provides an alcoholic beverage to a minor can receive up to a $1,000, six months in jail or both.
