Underage drinkers, who live in states that have social host liability laws, are much less likely to drive under the influence of alcohol, compared to those who live in states, like Nevada where there are no such laws in place. Currently, Nevada has no social host liability laws that hold adults responsible for serving alcohol to teenagers who then go out and drive under the influence of alcohol and cause an accident.
Adults are often responsible for supplying teenagers with alcohol at parties. In fact, the highest rates of underage drinking are linked to drinking at parties or events, where teenagers manage to access alcohol. Often, that alcohol is provided them to them by an adult.
The researchers found that in 25 communities, social host liability laws held adults responsible for providing minors with alcohol. Not only did these communities have laws that prevented adults from furnishing alcohol to minors, but these laws were also very strictly enforced in these communities. In these communities, the rate of underage drinking was lower, compared to those communities in which there were no such laws preventing adults from providing alcohol to minors. That seems to indicate that it is not just important to have social host laws, but also important to make sure that everybody knows of these laws, and is aware that it is a crime for them to furnish alcohol to minors.
Drunk driving accident rates continue to be high among teenage drivers, even though these has been a decline in many other categories of DUI. Nevada specifically has a huge drunk driving problem, partly because of the large number of tourists visiting the state. The state’s lack of any social host liability has only compounded the problem of teenage drunk drivers.
