one of my co-workers who is 18 said that there is some law that says if your under age and you throw a party at your house that the cops can't bust you if your drunk because its your propery. but they can bust all the other under age kids who are drunk. i said no way. anyone heard of anything like this.

 

Only one I have heard is if your spouse is over 21 and you are under you can drink 'with their permission'

Even if they can't arrest you, they will watch you like a hawk until they find a reason to arrest you...You think an 18 year old drunk kid isn't going to do anything stupid?

 

Your friend is retarded.

 

Ahhh, to be young and know everything.

 

Heh, that made me giggle.

In Texas a minor can drink with a parent or spouse that is of age but just being on your own property doesn't matter.

 

i believe that is bullshit. i remember in highschool plenty kids getting mip's at their own house parties, but why don't you ask the kid to give it a shot and see what happens?

 

I think the age thing doesn't matter. It's more about throwing the party on your property. Can they come in and give you any trouble without a warrant? I had a MASSIVE Christmas party once in my parent's farmhouse. I was 18. Cops had roadblocks set up on 2 of the 4 roads leaving the area (the 2 good ones), and they never came into the yard. Busted plenty of idiots leaving though.

 

thats funny!

 

If I strip a car thats parked on my property the cops can't do SHAT. cuz its on my property.

 

sure puts the home owner in a bind for providing minors with booze.
i say lets put it to the test, as when the party is so you can call the cops
and see what happens.
