When I was in high school there were parents who supplied alcohol to some of the parties, but it was usually only if it was at their house so they could keep an eye on everyone. The logic goes that the kids are going to find a way to drink anyway so the parent's might as well offer them a safe place to do it and hopefully stop kids from driving home drunk.

It's the same logic as legalizing illicit drugs like marijuana. If it can be regulated, it won't cause as many problems.

Trouble is, there are always kids who slip out of the party and drive anyway. I wouldn't put myself on the line (possibly get arrested) for someone I served drinks to.

That's awful! Who is outing him? The kids or the parents? Are they mad because he didn't go with the flow? What bunk! Maybe what you could do is look for pictures of car accidents and send them to the parents to show their kids what can happen when you drink when you're not supposed to. Then I'd tell them that maybe your son did them a favor and saved them some future heartache.

Please tell your son that there are parents out here who are very proud of how brave he was not to give in to bad behavior!

See that? Maybe your son's actions have made some of the party goers take a long hard look at their or their child's behaviors, possibly preventing something tragic from happening in the future.

What about the host of the party? Is he or she answerable to anyone? If it were my kid who left a party because of underage drinking, I would be so furious that someone would have to hold me back from knocking on the door and giving him or her a piece of my mind (what little I have to spare!) I'm so "in your face" about stuff like this!
