Rhode Rules: Understanding the Social Host Law

'Rhode Rules' aims to educate and inform Rhode Island residents about the Social Host Law, which states it is illegal to buy, provide, or supply alcohol, or provide a place to consume alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. The campaign also raises awareness of the health and social consequences of underage drinking, including impacting brain development and decision-making skills.
