(A) Basis and intent. The Village Council has found that the unregulated use of alcohol and drugs by minors creates social problems, and that the use of alcohol and drugs by minors can have devastating effects on the lives and property of minors and others, and on the public at large, including, without limitation, injuries caused by vehicles operated by persons under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The Village Council has further found and concluded that adults could significantly alleviate alcohol and drug problems of minors by assuming the responsibility for house parties that occur at their residences. It is the intent of this subchapter to encourage adults to assume such responsibility.
