Yes. You are responsible for the property and are allowing illegal acts.
That is called ``providing alcohol to a minor'' or "social supply", and it is illegal in many places. It can result in fines, criminal charges, and other legal consequences for the adult.
Your question is very vague - HOWEVER - it is illegal... (a) for anyone under the age of 18 to buy or attempt to buy alchohol. (b) for anyone over 18 to KNOWINGLY buy, or attempt to buy alcohol for consumption by persons under 18.a In the first case - the retailer would invariably be fined, and probbly lose his licence. In the second, the person buying the alcohol would be charged with supplying alcohol to a minor.
It is not illegal for a minor to consume alcohol, but it is illegal to sell alcohol to a minor. It is illegal for a minor to be supplied with alcohol unless it is by a parent or legal guardian and it is to be drunk at a private gathering. It is also illegal for a minor to have or to drink alcohol in a public place unless they are with a parent or legal guardian. The reason New Zealand law allows this drinking by minors, is that the parents or legal guardians are deemed to be responsible for the minors.
It is illegal for minors to purchase tobacco products.
Yes, it is a misdemeanor.
Not mentioning the morality issue it is illegal in all states to buy alcohol for a minor. If caught it can bring a litany of charges including providing alcohol to minor, endangering the welfare of a minor, etc.

Not specifically familiar with TN law, but I can tell you that any other place I'm aware of, the parents or guardians of the drinking minor could be charged with either "Child Neglect" or "Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor."
Depends on the jurisdiction in which this occurs, but the crime is usually something close to "Attempt to buy (and/or possess) alcohol by a minor". In the United States, most (if not all) states have an Alcoholic Beverage Control division, who will hire minors to attempt to buy alcohol from liquor establishments. Those minors are exempt from any criminal repercussion, so before calling the cops, it may be necessary to check if they work for ABC. The easiest way to check for that is to keep the I.D, which will force the minor go talk to a marked agent, and the agent will come in and retrieve it from you. Keep in mind that if you destroy the I.D, or if you sell to the minor (of course), that you will be arrested.
