For what, they will pay the fine for having an underage drinking party... That is not a jailable offense.[/quote]
Hello, Rich people don't care about fines. The killings will continue until guilty parents get jail time for allowing underaged drinking parties in their homes. Plain and Simple. Who's kid will be next?[/quote]

Then you need to work to change the law. As the PP says, furnishing alcohol and allowing possession or consumption of alcohol are not jailable offenses.

Don't be so sure. Laws vary by state but a quick Google search pulled up this case.

In Pennsylvania, a parent received a prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter after several teenagers died in a drunk-driving accident following a party hosted by the parent. Although the parent didn’t supply the alcohol, the parent knowingly allowed the teenagers to drink alcohol at the party.

A link for Montgomery County law would be pertinent here. 
What are the penalties for:

1. Providing alcohol to an underaged drinker?

2. Allowing underaged drinkers to party in your home?
