Alcohol Safety

Category - Legal

The restaurant you work at also hosts private parties and catering events on occasion. If you are working one of these events, how are the liquor laws different?
  1. The people paying for the event are the ones responsible for all alcohol service and guests’ intoxication.
  2. It depends on the type of event. Certain ones, like weddings, need to follow all the same liquor laws, while others, like sweet sixteen, do not.
  3. Only dram shop laws apply.
  4. They’re not different - you still need to check IDs and monitor guests’ intoxication levels. If an incident occurs, you could still be subject to civil and criminal liability.
Explanation
Answer: D - If you are serving alcohol at a private party or other catering event, the same liquor laws still apply.

This means that you could be facing both civil and criminal charges if a guest at the party gets drunk and gets into a car accident on his or her way home. Likewise, you could also be facing jail time and/or other penalties if you are caught serving alcohol to a minor. Basically, the law needs to be followed at all times regardless of what kind of work setting you are in.
