Underage Drinking

Listen to this Story

The state of Connecticut is cracking down on underage drinking with a new law which will take effect October 1. The law will make underage drinking in private homes illegal. Over 30 other states already have so-called "social host liability" legislation in place. Today, if Connecticut police see underage drinking on private property, their hands are tied but starting Sunday, they'll be able to do something about it. Independent producer Sally Herships talks to Connecticut kids and parents to find out what they think about the new law.
