The Pine Beach Municipal Alliance is funded through a grant from Governors Council Against Drug Abuse (GCADA) and fundraising. Most of our programs are free or very low cost to the community. Other
fundraising events such as our town wide yard sale help supplement the activities we provide. All funds raised go directly to the Municipal Alliance and back to the community. Thank you for continually supporting
the Municipal Alliance, without your help we could not continue to host these events and programs.

suicide. Delinquent behaviors also
increase with underage drinking.

For Parents
Parents play a major role in their
children’s choices about alcohol,
tobacco or other drugs. A recent
national survey of parents and teens
by the National Center on Addiction
and Substance Abuse at Columbia
University found one-third of teen
partygoers have been to parties
where teens were drinking alcohol,
smoking marijuana, or using
cocaine, ecstasy or prescription
drugs while a parent was present.
By age 17, nearly half (46 percent)
of teens have been at such parties
where parents were present.
Drug-Free Action Alliance has
developed the Parents Who Host,
Lose The Most: Don’t be a party to
teenage drinking public awareness
campaign to provide you with
information about the health risks
of underage drinking and the legal
consequences of providing alcohol
to youth.
As a parent, you cannot give alcohol
to your teen’s friends under the
age of 21 under any circumstance,
even in your own home, even with
their parent’s permission. You also
cannot knowingly allow a person
under 21, other than your own
child, to remain in your home or on
your property while consuming or
possessing alcohol. There are legal
consequences if you do. According
to the law, you can be prosecuted
and face up to six months in jail, a
$1,000 fine and loss of property. Simply taking away the car keys
does not solve all of the problems
related to underage drinking. Every
day, at least six youth under 21 die
from non-driving alcohol-related
You can protect your children by
following these guidelines when
hosting teen parties:
• Host safe, alcohol-free activities
and events for youth during prom
and graduation season
• Refuse to supply alcohol to
children or allow drinking in your
home or on your property
• Be at home when your teenager
has a party
• Make sure your teenager’s friends
do not bring alcohol into your home
• Talk to other parents about not
providing alcohol at youth events
• Report underage drinking
Our youth deserve to live and grow
to adulthood in an environment
where alcohol is not misused. Let’s
be unified in our message, and host

Tips for Parents
If your teen is giving a party
Help your teenager plan the party.
Make a guest list and invite only a
specific number of people.
Have your child pass out or send
invitations and try to avoid the
“open party” situation.
Don’t send e-mail invitations. They
can be forwarded to a large number
of people quickly and you lose
control of who has this information.
Put your phone number on the
invitation and welcome calls from
parents.
Set rules ahead of time such as no
alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. Set
a start and end time for the party.
Let attendees know that if they
leave, they can’t come back.
Have plenty of food and nonalcoholic beverages.
Plan some activities such as music,
games, movies, etc.
Let your neighbors know in advance
there will be a party and that you will
be there to supervise. Familiarize
yourself with the noise ordinance in
your area.
Limit the party access to a certain
area of the house/property.
Have a plan for dealing with vehicles.
Include parking information on your
party invitation.
Call parents of any teen who arrives
in possession of alcohol or under the
influence. If you can’t get in touch
with the parents, keep the teen there
or call the police if necessary. You
can be civilly liable if you know
they have been drinking and you let
them leave.
