When it comes to liquor laws in the United States, which of the following statements is not true?
  1. “Dram shop” laws allow people injured by intoxicated individuals to sue the establishment where they were served, the owner of the establishment, and the bartender who served them.
  2. Local (municipal) liquor laws can often be stricter than the liquor laws of the state the municipality is in.
  3. Jail time can sometimes be required for establishments and individuals involved in criminal liability cases.
  4. An establishment can only lose its liquor license after the third violation of local or state liquor laws.
Explanation
Answer: D - It is not true that an establishment can only lose its liquor license after the third liquor law violation.

Depending on the circumstances, a liquor license can be lost after only one violation. For example, liquor licenses can be taken away after minors are found to have been served or after an intoxicated patron leaves and gets into a car accident. This is why it is so important for all employees to be familiar with the applicable liquor laws and follow them exactly.
