This campaign focuses on parents and educating them about the legal ramifications and health and safety risks of serving alcohol to teens. As a parent you should know it is illegal to give alcohol to your teen's friends under the age of 21 under any circumstance, even in your own home, even with their parents permission. If you break the law you could face the following:

• Second degree misdemeanor
• Others can sue you if you give alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 and they in turn, hurt someone, hurt themselves or damage property

To alliveate this issue, be at home when your teen has a party, Make sure alcohol is not available and make sure alcohol is not brought into your home.
