Question: I am 21, many of my friends are under 21. We get together, and there is alcohol there. I never buy for them, but I don't stop them from underage drinking. If police were to bust a party, would I be in any sort of trouble?

Answer: It is not a crime to be around people who are under 21 years-old and are drinking. There is also no law that requires an individual such as yourself to report underage drinking.

However, you could be charged with a crime if you were providing them with the alcohol, or if they were consuming the alcohol in your residence.
