This is the time of year for Graduation parties, cookouts, pool parties etc. Remember that as the ‘host” of the party YOU are responsible for those in attendance. If they consume too much alcohol, YOU could be held responsible for  any adverse results.  Also the Massachusetts General Laws are written in such a manner that the definition of “furnishing” alcohol ( as in furnishing alcohol to a minor) includes allowing persons under age to consume alcoholic beverages on your premises. Therefore if there is a party at your house and minors are there consuming alcohol, YOU CAN BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY! Please be a responssbe host. Do not allow minors to consume alcohol.
