I didn't drink through college but our house regularly had huge parties. If any police came they would have had no problem arresting 100 people for underage drinking. No idea who they would have stuck with the "serving alcohol to minors" charge, but I suppose it could be any of our house's active members 21 or older.
If someone was at the party and not drinking, could the South Bend police still arrest them?
A bunch of college kids were at a party. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. It would be great if the drinking age were 18 or 19. Maybe increase the penalties for drinking and driving and lower the drinking age. 21 really doesn't make any sense.

Recent Minnesota laws should make any adult think twice about providing alcohol to minors -- they can be charged with a gross misdemeanor, and go to jail for up to one year and be fined up to $3,000. In addition, any adult who provides alcohol to an underage drinker can be sued for any damages that result.
This is off Washington county Site.
Whether we agree or disagree to the drinking age is our opinion, but this is the law. There are serious consequences that can result from providing alcohol to a minor. These boys are now adults and responsible for there decisions. Good or bad.
I hope this doesn't interfere with any of thier academic or hockey careers at ND. And they move forward and learn from this.
As for being at the party and not drinking there is no law against it, but obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct..... You could get slapped with. Which in turn becomes a hassle to deal with.
