  2. Someone’s legal responsibility to refuse alcohol service in order to help prevent alcohol-related incidents.

Explanation
Answer: B - Third party liability refers to a person’s legal responsibility to refuse a customer alcohol service in order to help prevent alcohol-related incidents caused by that customer.

Basically, a bartender or server can be held for third party liability if he or she serves someone who should not have been consuming alcohol (a minor, an already intoxicated person, etc.) and that person is then involved in an alcohol-related incident. It could be anything from a car accident to a fight; either way, the “third party” who served the alcohol can be held liable for the incident.
