What is Keg Registration?
When a keg is confiscated by police at a party at which underage persons have consumed alcohol, the purchaser of the keg can be identified and arrested or fined for supplying alcohol to underage persons. Penalties include a fine of up to $1000 and/or a maximum of one year in prison. If a keg is returned to the place of purchase with a missing or defaced ID tag, the deposit is forfeited. In addition, it is illegal to sell alcohol without a license and penalties include up to a $500 fine and/or 90 days in jail.
