Hello. The question at hand took place in Hernando County, Florida, two days ago.
I'm in my twenties, I live at home with my parents. They recently purchased a new home... A few days ago they through a house party. The older crowd stayed inside while my brother, 25 and his friends were hanging out in the garage, "man cave."
My brother asked me to take his friend to the gas station for more beer. I obliged. When we got there he handed me the money, told me what he needed. During this conversation he told me he was nineteen (the other eight or so people in the garage are well over 21.)
In retrospect I shouldn't have bought the alcohol but since he doesn't drive and was spending the night I didn't think twice.
I bought two cases of beer and a pack of cigarettes as requested.
When we got home I put the two cases of beer and what was left of a bottle of vodka to the group for the garage party.
I spend the rest of the evening in my room... I do two random checks on them to make sure everyone's in one piece, not getting to drunk or rowdy. At this point a few more people have come over. Most of which I knew, they come over a few times a week to hang out with my brother, have a few beers and play video games. Though there were two new faces, two girls.
Come to find out the following day that the nineteen year old invited two girls who were not even eighteen.
I start freaking out about underage drinking, having bought some of the alcohol they would have been consuming.
A bunch of the people had spent the night, in particular the three that were under the legal drinking age. After a few hours of sleep, having sobered up they went on there way.
But I can't help but worry. Most of all i'm disappointed for putting myself in this situation. What if the underage drinkers hurt someone? Everyday the door bell rings i'm afraid it's going to be bad news... As far as I know everyone made it home a-okay. I even went as far to check arrests for the last few days. But i'm overly paranoid. These aren't my friends or people I know... So I have no way of getting in touch with them to make sure.. . I just have to go by what i'm told.
Roy (19) and the two girls who were under 18 were sobered before they left. But if they had hurt someone could I still get in trouble? Would I know by now?
I figured with a room full of adults and one 19 year old everything would be okay... Only to find out they invited over two girls who weren't even 18 and gave them alcohol.
