How Do Teens Get Alcohol?

What Is Social Hosting?

When of-age adults give or supply alcohol for teenagers, it’s called social hosting. Most often, the term is used to describe hosting large, alcohol-laden parties. Social hosting is also a crime throughout the United States, undermines the parent-child relationship, and harms the physical, mental, and developmental health of youth.

Statistics about Social Hosting

• 72 percent of teens who drink alcohol don’t pay for it.

• For teens who got alcohol in the past six months, parents were the supplier three times.

• Two out of three teens say it’s easy to get alcohol from their homes without parents knowing it.

• Two out of five teens say it’s easy to get alcohol from a friend’s parents.

• One in four teens has been to a party where teens drink in front of parents.

• One in four teens, including one in three girls, say their own parents have given them alcohol.
