Parents Who Host Lose the Most

Don’t be a party to teenage drinking.  Refuse to supply alcohol to anyone under 21. It is illegal to host or allow teen drinking parties in your home.

Every day 7,000 people under the age of 16 have their first drink of alcohol.  Combat early drinking by:

• Be at home when your teen has a party
• Make sure that alcohol is not brought into your home or property by your teen’s friends.
• Talk to other parents about not providing alcohol at other events your child will be attending.
• Create alcohol-free opportunities and activities in your home so teen feel welcome.
• Report underage drinking to local law enforcement.

The Manchester Voices Coalition offers materials and resources in paper or electronic format to help parents and teens.  Yard sign and posters are also available warning Parents Who Host Lose the Most.

The Manchester Voices Coalition is a group of individuals, schools, prevention & treatment experts, law enforcement, community and businesses, youth and adults with a common goal: to help Manchester youth make healthy choices.
