Therefore, a social host that provides alcohol to a person will generally NOT be held civilly responsible for injuries or death caused by that person's intoxication. There is one major exception to this law. If an adult provides alcohol to a person under the age of 21, then he or she WOULD be liable for any damage that occurs as a result of the minor's intoxication, if it is proven that their supplying of alcohol was the primary cause of the resulting injuries.\n\nRegardless, this holiday season, be socially responsible if you host a party and are serving alcohol.\n \nThe Legal Minute, with Attorney and personal injury expert John Demas, from the Demas Law Group - trusted professionals, proven results.
