A Fairfax County panel is calling on the neighboring D.C. government to reinstate criminal penalties for underage drinking, arguing that Fairfax teens are crossing the Potomac to get drunk with little fear of consequences.

The Fairfax County Oversight Committee on Drinking and Driving wants county supervisors to push District officials to re-criminalize the offense. The change would “reduce the frequency of underage [Fairfax] youth driving into D.C. to drink alcohol where underage drinking is a civil offense, thus not enforced by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department,” according to a report from the committee.
