Parents Who Host lose The Most: Don’t be a party to teenage drinking is a public awareness campaign to provide parents with accurate information about the health risks of underage drinking and the legal consequences of providing alcohol to youth. The campaign encourages parents and the community to send a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is not acceptable. It is illegal, unsafe, and unhealthy for anyone under the age of 21 to drink alcohol.
The initiative takes place on state and local levels and concentrates on celebratory times for youth, such as homecoming parties, holidays, prom, and graduation and other times when underage drinking parties are prevalent.
The main program objectives are:
- Educate parents about the health and safety risks of serving alcohol to teens
- Increase parental awareness of and compliance with Massachusetts underage drinking laws.
- Change community norms related to social hosting.
