YES, for example if you host or allow a party at your house where alcohol is consumed by under age guests (REGARDLESS of who supplies the alcohol), you could be sued if any harm, injury, or death results from the alcohol consumption. Such a lawsuit could seek substantial monetary damages from you and any others who were involved in violating the law.
