The Missourian applauds Public Safety's efforts to crack down on minors, alcohol investigation This weekend is Northwest's homecoming.
Homecoming is a celebration for alumni and students, featuring a parade, game and parties.
Parties often involve drinking, and for those students who are not 21, getting caught with alcohol means facing consequences. A recent investigation by Public Safety found seven local stores and two bars were willing to sell alcohol to a minor. The investigation was just the beginning of a series of investigations aimed at preventing minors from drinking. The recent crackdown on underage drinking has caused some minors to be careful about where they drink, which they should be. Not to mention the hassle of going to court and telling parents.
