SAN ANTONIO PASSES MODEL CIVIL SOCIAL HOST ORDINANCE San Antonio’s social host ordinance is a comprehensive approach to addressing youth social access and serves as a model ordinance for the state. San Antonio is the largest city in the country to pass a civil social host ordinance. Social Host refers to adults who host parties where alcohol is served on property they control. A civil social host ordinance is a city level policy that addresses underage alcohol abuse by allowing police officers to fine hosts of underage drinking parties when they are called for service.

Editor's Notes
- My name is Vickie Adams I am the Coalition Coordinator with the Circles of San Antonio Community Coalition. I have been with SACADA since 2007. Before coming to the San Antonio Area I worked in the prevention field with at risk youth with the 36th Judicial District Juvenile Probation Unit in San Patricio County.
- Substance abuse prevention usually follows one of two basic approaches—behavioral, which focuses on individuals’ behavior, or environmental, which focuses on communities and attempts to change the environment that supports substance abuse. But research has shown that education alone is often ineffective. Programs that try to persuade students not to use alcohol by arousing fear do not work, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Instead, emphasizing the dangers of alcohol may attract adolescents who are risk-takers. Another approach to preventing underage drinking and drug use at any age seeks to change the environment that supports substance abuse. While education is included, these programs primarily look to change the factors that influence people to abuse mind-altering substances, such as easy access to alcohol and the failure to penalize illegal drug use. Environmental interventions include: Building support for public policies that reduce access to alcohol, illegal drugs and other mind-altering substances. Creating community coalitions to develop local solutions to reducing access. Using the media to highlight the problem of substance abuse and build support for community-based solutions.
- The City of San Antonio passed the Social Host Ordinance in December 2016 and went into effect March 2017 with a 90 day grace period, so June 2017 citations could be written.
- Leverages civil penalties for adults in violation of the ordinance. First violation = penalty of $300 Second violation = penalty of $500 Cost recovery for public safety response may also be imposed on second and subsequent violations.
