Prom night – nothing could be more exciting, right? My best friend and I had spent hours looking for dresses and doing our hair. It was perfect. We had been waiting for this night since both of us could remember and nothing was going to ruin it. My best friend called me the night before and told me that her parents had to go on an emergency trip to see her dying grandmother. It was a really sad story but what interested us was that she was planning on throwing a huge prom party at her house.
That night after we got our pictures and dinner, my date and I headed over to her house. I couldn’t believe how many people had shown up! Everyone was there and everyone was having a great time! People were drinking and dancing and everything was awesome. I decided to spend the night over there so that I could help clean up the next day.
Her parents got home the next morning at about the same time the police arrived. It turns out that someone who had been at the party had gotten into an accident and was intoxicated. The police asked where they got the alcohol and they pointed at my friend’s house. The police were very nice and explained to all of us that adults can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor if they knowingly allow minors to drink on their property (ARS 4-241.H.) Fortunately her parents didn’t know anything about the party or the alcohol! But police also told us that there is still a chance that through their homeowner’s insurance, her parents might get sued (be held civilly liable) because someone got hurt as a result of the party.

It's just plain stupid it's like taking the risk of killing yourself. think about how stupid that is im not that sorry for the girl that through the party and im not sorry for the people that got in the accident because it was there choice to drink and drive and obviously they made the wrong choice. they made the stupid choice. and to all the people that read this it should teach you a lesson that drinking and driving is stupid and you shouldn't do it!!!

I am the victim of a 17 year old underage drunk driver. I am now disabled by my injuries. The 17 year old is now serving his 10 year prison sentence.
This kid was drinking while in his Mothers new Mustang GT and then picked up a friend. The friend was sober. When the he hit me, they were actually fighting over him pulling over. This poor kid broke his colerbone and ended up turning states evidence on my side.
Please kids....DON'T EVER DRINK AND DRIVE!
Not only has my life and my childrens lives been changed forever, so has the drunk kids, and his families. He'll be 26 when he gets out!
