Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Pittsburgh city Councilman Bruce Kraus, who represents often rowdy neighborhoods in the South Side and South Oakland, introduced a bill Tuesday to further crack down on underage drinking.
The bill would increase penalties for those hosting parties where underage drinkers are present, with hopes of limiting house parties attended by college students who are not yet 21. Mr. Kraus said he patterned his "social host liability" ordinance on laws in other college towns that have wrestled with underage parties that upset neighborhood residents.

This is always a good thing to hear, because in our current life underage drinking is a serious problem. Being in high school, I know all about the issue and I'm strongly against it in every way, shape, and form. I find it reassuring that they are starting to crack down on it more in Pittsburgh because it only takes one to start a change in society. Hopefully the rest of the United States will learn from Pittsburg and this change will become more popular.
