Fourteen students have been charged in court with drinking alcohol.
The suspects, who are in primary and secondary schools within the county, were arrested by police in a club on Sunday evening.
They denied two counts of being in need of care and protection contrary to the Children's Act and portraying disorderly conduct contrary to the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act.
The court was told the minors, both boys and girls, were found in need of care and protection because they were drinking beer on October 30.
The minors were also accused of falling into bad association with other people.
FATEFUL DAY
Chief magistrate Patricia Gichohi heard that on the fateful day, the minors were found drunk and disorderly in public places.
They were also found staggering and shouting.
Ms Gichohi ordered the area police boss to take the minors to the county referral hospital for determination of their ages.
They were released on a bond of Sh20, 000 each after denying the charges.
The case will be mentioned on November 7, 2016.
Homa Bay OCPD Esau Ochorokodi said they arrested the manager of the club where the minors are said to have been drinking the alcohol.
"We are going to take serious action against the club after its manager has been arraigned in court," he added.
Area residents demanded the club be closed for selling alcohol to minors.
"It is very demoralising as a parent to see a pupil staggering on the road because they are drunk," said Ben Otieno, a retired teacher in the area.
"Children need adults' protection and guidance. I blame the club management for allowing them in. I am appealing to the relevant authorities to revoke the club's permit," said Regarn Ochieng', resident.
Parents thronged the court to witness their sons and daughters being tried.
"My daughter who is in Form Three left home on Thursday evening but I have been informed she was arrested. I wonder why these children are misbehaving," said a parent.
Last month, three girls from a secondary school were arrested at a house in the area where they had been staying with young school dropouts.
They had been sent home for fees but did not reach home.
Last year, the county assembly passed the County Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill, 2014, which outlines the framework for alcohol licensing and distribution.
