Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
My 18 yo son wants to attend a party where there will be alcohol and underage drinking. He is not going to drink, but wants to look out for a friend that may. If there are high school kids under 18yo, could he get in trouble for being there if the party is busted? I think he can as an adult, but he doesn't think he can legally get in trouble as long as he isn't providing anyone with alcohol. This is in Virginia.

Well, yes, but your son may have some difficulty in convincing these cops
that he has had nothing whatsoever to do with supplying these "underagers" with
the copious quantities of booze found on the premises, but, nevertheless, might
still find himself charged with contributing to the delinquency of minor(s), and who knows what else?
