Hosting or attending a party is an excellent time to talk with old friends, meet new friends, listen to music, eat and drink. If alcohol is served, remember that most successful parties do not focus on alcohol consumption.
Parties are more fun without arrests, property damage or personal injuries.
This information is designed to provide you with information about the legal consequences of hosting a party and to assist you in making informed choices. You should seriously consider these consequences, because you will bear the responsibility for your choices. The first decision you will make is whether to serve alcohol. If you choose to serve alcohol, be aware that there are University regulations as well as local, state and federal laws governing its use. Ohio University's Student Code describes the disciplinary sanctions of illegal drug and alcohol use.
