When authorities find a situation where there is underage drinking, it can be difficult to determine who furnished the alcohol. Social host laws counteract that problem by focusing on the location of the illegal behavior. The parent or adult can then be charged criminally, and can also be held civilly responsible in states that allow for that type of&#160;liability.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/socialhostimages.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2278\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scramsystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/socialhostimages.jpg\" alt=\"socialhostimages\" width=\"266\" height=\"189\" \/><\/a>Although recent surveys have shown the number of minors who are drinking alcohol (and driving) has dropped in recent years, youth gatherings that involve alcohol have been shown to involve binge drinking and risky behavior choices. \u00a0According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyyouth\/yrbs\/pdf\/us_alcohol_trend_yrbs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youth Risk Behavior Survey<\/a> on the CDC website, the percentage of&#160;9<sup>th<\/sup>-12<sup>th<\/sup> graders who admit to drinking and driving fell by about half between 1991 and 2011; from 16.7% to 8.2%. However, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov\/Pubs\/811700.pdf\">NHTSA<\/a>, 4,292 young people between the ages of 16 and 20 lost their lives in alcohol-related crashes in&#160;2011.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eugene-or.gov\/documentcenter\/view\/10463\">Eugene, Oregon<\/a>, is one community that has recently passed social host laws that will go into effect on March&#160;2<sup>nd<\/sup>.\u00a0 Eugene is a college town where the mix of families and students created tension when \u201cunruly gatherings\u201d created noise, trash, and behavior that was generally dangerous and disruptive to the community. Pennsylvania has social host laws that address underage drinking, but the principal of a Bethlehem Township high school felt that the problem of underage drinking had gotten so bad, he composed a letter titled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/bethlehem.patch.com\/articles\/principal-blames-parents-for-teen-alcohol-use\">The Elephant in the Room<\/a>,\u201d addressed to parents that host parties or look the other way when kids are drinking in their&#160;homes.<\/p>\n<p>Although social host laws are becoming more widespread, they have been challenged. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/judge-rules-ri-underage-drinking-law-is-constitutional-serra-found-guilty\">A Rhode Island woman<\/a> was recently convicted for violating social host laws after teens were drinking on her property and were then involved in a violent crash that resulted in serious injuries. Her lawyer had challenged the constitutionality of the law, but it was upheld. Social host laws are challenged on the basis of vague or broad definitions of what behavior is prohibited, who is a responsible adult, and what a host\u2019s responsibilities are once underage drinking is&#160;discovered.<\/p>\n<p>Are Social Host laws fair?
