What Is Dram Shop Liability?

Explain the legal concept of dram shop laws—holding bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and other alcohol providers responsible when they unlawfully serve alcohol to someone who later causes harm. Cover examples such as overserving visibly intoxicated patrons or selling to minors.

Common Causes of Dram Shop Cases

Overserving visibly intoxicated customers

When a bar or restaurant continues to serve alcohol to someone who is clearly impaired, increasing the risk that the person may cause harm to themselves or others.

Serving alcohol to minors

Providing alcohol to individuals under the legal drinking age, which is illegal and often leads to dangerous or impulsive behavior.

Failing to monitor alcohol consumption

Allowing patrons to consume excessive amounts of alcohol without proper oversight, contributing to unsafe levels of intoxication.

Ignoring warning signs of intoxication

Overlooking obvious signs such as slurred speech, stumbling, or aggressive behavior, and continuing to serve alcohol despite clear impairment.
