Teenagers love to party....especially during prom and graduation season.  And often alcohol is involved.  Some parents think that hosting their teenager's party in the home will keep the kids out of trouble.  We know your intentions are good....of course, you don't understand that it's illegal, unsafe and unhealthy for anyone under age 21 to drink alcohol...but did you know that parents who host lose the most?  Here are the facts....If you make alcohol available to teenagers other than your own,  you can be prosecuted...if you host, or allow teen drinking parties in your home, you can be prosecuted...and everything associated with such a violation, including personal property can be confiscated.  So parents, protect yourselves and your kids...don't be a party to teenage drinking.  Do your part to make this prom season safe for everybody.  This is a program of Ohio parents for drug free youth.
