Couldn't tell you. Really, it's whomever supplied is the liable party, both criminally and civilally.
Yes, she did make the choice to drink, Texas Princess, however I was responding to IvySpice's note that no one hgad legal obligation on any of this.
Yes, I drank when I was underage, and I speed and do many things that as an adult, I understand that I am responsible for the consequences. However, when I was underage and drinking, unless I was to have bought it myself with a fake ID (which I did not), anyone who bought for me was criminally responsible for providing alcohol to a minor. It's just that simple. Again, we all have to decide for ourselves if the consequences are worth the actions. As I remember from my party days in college, at that time the fun outweighed the chance of getting caught. It was the chance I chose to take, and I was lucky. In this case, the former Chi Omega sister was not, and her family and friends have to live with the consequences (of no longer having her with them).
And for that result, I am truly sorry. I almost lost my own brother when he was drinking underage (in high school with, with friends who were aged from HS to over 21), and fell from a 2-1/2 story balcony onto a parking lot. He landed on his head & face. His friends were not prosecuted, but it was considered (I was not caring one way or the other, since he was my concern, but it was a consequence they had to face).
We were very lucky, as were his friends, but not everyone is.
