If i invite people to a holiday party that are over 18 but under 21, and they drink before they come?

If I or a frined invite people to a holiday party at my house that are over 18 but under 21, and they drink before they come or bring their own drink am I legally responsible for them and should I ask them to leave or would I be really legally responsible as long as I do not serve the drinks to them?





It is not the same as drinks to a minor is it? I mean so someone under 21 is still a "minor"?

In most states, whether the minor consumes prior to your party, at your party or is served at your party, you are allowing him/her to consume alcohol, which makes you responsible even liable should they get into a car after the party and get into a fatal accident. YOU get sued by the people involved in the accident. What's more is that he could sue you, his good buddy and friend, for allowing him to consume alcohol then drive. If you want to take on that much responsibility, it's your neck.





Advise checking with the laws in your state and your home owner's or rental insurance coverage. Might be a good thing for you to know if they'll cover such an irresponsible act.
Reply:if they are over 18 they are not your responsibility if they bring their own drink. Your responsibility legally and socially will be the following:1) if they become unrully while a party is going on inside your house;2) if the noise coming from your house disturbs the neighborhood, then you are liable;3) if accidents happens while they are inside your house because of being drunk, you are liable.


So if I were you don't bring them inside your house. Just invite them to a bar of a nightclub. With that you will be safe.
Reply:Yes, you will be held responsible since they are at your premises. Very expensive risk.
