Idaho Underage Drinking: What are the repercussions?
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - Alcohol and minors just don't mix.
When underage people consume alcohol, the results can be catastrophic.
One in four kids that die in the United States are involved in an alcohol-related event, says Nancy Lopez, coordinator for the Idaho Enforcing the Underage Drinking Laws Program.
"If that was the flu virus, wouldn't we be upset?" she asks.
"There's a lot to be lost there. We just saw that here recently," says Blackfoot, Idaho Police Chief Dave Moore, referring to last week's fatal crash that killed a 16-year-old Blackfoot, Idaho resident. Police say alcohol was a factor in the accident.
According to the Alcohol Policies Project (www.cspinet.org/booze):
Approximately 9.7 million drinkers in the United States are between the ages of 12 and 20. Of those, 18.7 percent are involved in binge drinking and 6 percent are heavy drinkers.
More than 67 percent of young people who start drinking before the age of 15 will try an illicit drug. Children who drink are 7.5 times more likely to use any illicit drug, 22 times more likely to use marijuana and 50 times more likely to use cocaine.
In 2000, 21 percent of 15- to 20-year-old drivers who were killed in crashes were intoxicated.
There's a reason the legal drinking age is 21, says Moore.
Studies have shown alcohol consumption by minors can be a serious detriment to a person's mental, emotional and physical growth, he says.
Besides all that, it's also a burden to society.
According to the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, the total economic cost of alcohol use by underage drinkers in America amounts to about $50 billion per year.
Broken down, that includes $29 billion in alcohol-related violent crime costs, more than $19 billion in traffic crashes and $1.5 billion in suicide attempts. Other costs: Treatment ($1 billion); fetal alcohol syndrome ($493 million); drownings ($426 million); alcohol poisonings ($340 million); burns ($189 million).
Considering all that, one would figure the criminal penalties for providing underage people with alcohol would be severe.
One would be wrong.
According to local Idaho police and the county prosecutor's office, in most cases, the maximum charge faced by an adult caught providing alcohol to a minor is misdemeanor "procuring alcohol for a minor." A misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a maximum fine of $300.
If the minor is involved in a fatal accident, charging someone with accessory to manslaughter would be difficult and case-specific.
It would depend on the circumstances and police would have to connect a lot of dots, says Lt. Bob Clements, the Idaho State Police's Alcohol Beverage Control Bureau chief.
In such offenses that resulted in injury or death, the biggest penalties would be civil, says Bingham County, Idaho Chief Deputy Craig Rowland.
"If you buy alcohol for a kid and the kid goes out and gets in a crash ... they could come back and sue you for basically everything you have," he says.
"If you get in court and they prove liability, you better hang on for the ride," Moore says.
Licensed establishments that sell alcohol to a minor face a 10-day license suspension and a fine, usually $1,000, for first-time offenses. Repeat offenders face much stiffer penalties, including as much as a 180-day suspension.
"Retailers are the ones who are going to get the biggest hit," Moore says. "You can't put a price on taking their license away from them for 30 days and make them lock up the coolers."
