So, now the MoCo Police is up in arms when a high school staff member gives teenagers alcohol.
ReplyDeleteBut, when a private music teacher does the exact thing it's not worth their time or trouble?
What is the underage drinking law in Maryland?
ReplyDeleteA person under 21 cannot drink or even possess alcohol, except under the following conditions:
Exceptions to Consumption and Possession Rules
Handling Alcohol: Within Job Duties
If a person under age 21 is working for an employer that has a valid liquor license issued by the state of Maryland, the otherwise underage employee may possess, but not consume, alcoholic beverages per job requirements.
In a Private Residence
Someone under 21 would also be allowed to consume alcohol in a private residence as long as that individual did so with the consent and supervision of a family member, usually a parent, over the age of 21.
Part of a Religious Ceremony
Alcohol can be consumed by individuals under age 21 in the state of Maryland if that consumption is part of an approved religious ceremony. The Episcopal and Roman Catholic religious rites each sanction the light consumption of alcohol.
