The law that imposes potential liability on the host of a party for serving alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person or a minor is often referred to as "social host liability." This legal doctrine varies by state but generally holds hosts responsible for any harm caused by an intoxicated guest after they have been served alcohol. In many jurisdictions, this includes civil liability for injuries or damages resulting from incidents involving the intoxicated individual. Additionally, serving alcohol to minors can lead to criminal charges and civil penalties under various state laws.
