However, recent events have highlighted the serious legal consequences that can follow decisions made on a night out. On Thursday, April 24, 2025, a major joint operation between the Tempe Police Department and the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) resulted in 173 arrests for underage drinking and possession of fake IDs at a bar near McClintock Drive and Apache Boulevard. This high-profile operation emphasizes that underage drinking is treated as a significant offense under Arizona law, not just “kids being kids.” In addition to personal consequences for those arrested, the establishment itself is now under investigation for possible Title IV liquor law violations, which could lead to substantial penalties or even the loss of its liquor license.
