Since the Maryland state legislature enacted Alex and Calvin’s Law in 2016, the penalty for adults who provide alcohol to those under age 21 increased from a $5,000 fine to one year in jail. This means an adult who holds an underage drinking party can potentially face jail time for their role in providing alcohol to those who are underage.
If you are facing consequences for hosting an underage drinking party, get good legal representation immediately. The state of Maryland takes these cases extremely seriously and assigns tough consequences for adults who contribute to underage drinking.
