[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you needed to overreact but you should have driven them to their homes, not to another party. Yes you could be liable.[/quote]

But liable for what?  She served them no alcohol.  If an Uber car drove them, is the Uber driver liable?

This was the OP's question.  I agree, there's no obvious risk of liability here.  I also think those that are saying, don't punisht them, but just bring them all home are failing to recognize that doing so would have the same impact as a "punishtment."  They only other thing I think would have been a good idea, is to confirm there was an adult present at the second house and to text that adult saying "I think there may have been some alchohol cosumed by some in this group. . ."  That said, I've had a 17 year old, and it's perfectly normal for kids this age to make their own plans and for parents to not have each other's numbers.  In this situation, you could have insisted on parental contact.  But I don't think not doing so opens you up to any liability.  I don't think every adult that runs across underage drinkers has a legal obligaiton to intervene to stop them from drinkning.  [/quote]
