Less Fear = Less Alcohol Tragedies?

An esteemed co-worker of the Murphy blog team brought this article to my attention this afternoon. A bill recently passed the Michigan House that would exempt underage drinkers from criminal liability in the event that they place an emergency call to 911. Lawmakers hope the exemption from prosecution will lead more underage drinkers to utilize 911 in emergencies and cut down on the number of alcohol-related fatalities.
