Under what circumstances can I be held responsible for underage drinking violations by my roommates and/or their guests?
There is no simple answer to this question. The best action is to not have persons under 21 and alcohol in the same place. Certainly, if you buy alcohol for an underage person or give or sell alcohol to an underage person, you are committing a crime. If they help themselves to your stuff without your permission or drink in your presence, you might be liable and you might not, and there are too many variables and individual circumstances for us to advise you on that. If you are concerned about this, consulting an attorney regarding your rights and liabilities in this area is the best way to ensure that you have the information you need.
