Underage drinking

Dear folks,

It has been brought to my attention that a few attendees from the recent DPHH (October) were underage and using fake photo IDs. This is troublesome because not only can the underage person who attends get in trouble such as losing their driver's license and facing a fine, the bar/establishment could lose their liquior licenses.

It is not NYC DPHH responsibility to "police" our attendees who are underage and chose to break the law. We can only strongly encourage you to inform your underage friends that the bars/clubs used by DPHH are for people over 21 years old. That they should wait till they reach legal age (21).

If someone you don't know comes up to you at a DPHH asking you to buy them a drink, you have every right to say NO. Again this is for your protection because if you are caught buying someone who is underage an alcoholic beverage, you could be arrested as well.
If you see someone who is underage at any DPHH events, please notify the bouncer, bar manager, waitstaff etc etc.. For more information, please read Governor Patterson's brochure on alcohol & the law.

Zavier and I are pleased how much NYC DPHH gatherings has grown these past few months. We would like to see NYC DPHH continue to grow as a community and maintain good ties with the various bar establishments all over the city. So please let your underage friends know that while we wish they could attend, if they are under 21 years old, to please wait till they are of age (21).

Thank you for your time in regards to this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Zavier & Jennifer
