- The father of the groom can either pay for the full bar bill of all guests, or, two or three tickets to the bar can be left on the table where each guests sits and these will be free drinks, but after that the guests will have to pay for their own. The latter is used more often or some families that can't afford a large wedding may well get stuck with a staggering bar bill. The wine (both red/white) should be at each guests table (say 6 people to a table) and there is generally a corkage fee (for a waitress/waiter to take the cork out of the bottle and serve it to each guests at that table.) Some reception halls allow you to make your own wine and bring it to the wedding, but few will agree to this. As far as being liable by law as to how many drinks a guest has and how they get home in most States it is up to the guest to use their brains and either have a designated driver or take a taxi cab home. You shouldn't be responsible for that.

Can a divorced parent allow their 15 year old child to drink alcohol in the home without the other parents consent?
If they do not have legal custody, no. In fact, the custodial parent should take this matter before the court with jurisdiction over the case. They should try to obtain a court order that the child not be served alcohol while in the "other parent''s" custody. Serving alcohol to a minor could constitute child endangerment in some jurisdictions and the parents who does so in liable for any resulting damages. Some states allow parents to serve alcohol to minors at home but in other states it would be a felony. You should consult with an attorney.

If a hotel leases a room for a private party and a person is injured as a result of alcohol berverages is the hotel liable for law suit in prince George's County Maryland?
Not enough information to answer - too many facts are missing. Where did the alcoholic beverages come from in this private party room? Who supplied them? Who served them? If neither the hotel nor its staff were involved in either supplying or serving the beverages, they have no responsibility.
