Mower County residents who are considering hosting a party for underage drinkers should be aware of Mower County’s new social host ordinance, which makes it easier for police to charge party hosts with a misdemeanor when teenagers are found drinking. While parents can still allow their teenagers a glass of wine with dinner and teens can partake in religious observances involving alcohol, the county is hoping to curb underage drinking by holding party hosts more responsible.
