Abstract	Municipalities and colleges are adding Social Host ordinances to their list of tactics to prevent underage drinking. The ordinances, which focus on the locations where underage drinking takes place, hold property owners responsible for making sure those under 21 don't consume alcohol in their home, apartment or any venue they own. MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) supports Social Host laws and encourages elected officials and social activists to advocate for laws in their own communities. MADD's Web site (www.madd.org/socialhost) provides information and examples to assist those who are interested in pursuing the enactment of such ordinances. Social Host ordinances are enacted so parents, landlords, tenants, hotel/motel operators, campground owners and young persons themselves share a responsibility to ensure that underage drinkers are not allowed to use private residences or other private property to possess or consume alcoholic beverages.
