Yes. It can be found here: in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title7.1/ar5/ch10.html
South Carolina's Dram Shop laws hold alcohol vendors liable for injuries or damages caused by individuals they have served alcohol to if the server knew or should have known the person was intoxicated. This means that businesses that sell alcohol can be held responsible for accidents caused by patrons who were intoxicated when the alcohol was served to them.
Dram Shop Act was created in order to force taverns (or those places serving alcholic beverages) to obtain Dram Shop Insurance. If one goes to a bar and ends up having an accident after drinking (off premises) then the victims will include in their MULTIPLE suit - the tavern. Their end of the payout comes from their DSI premiums - sort of like our Homeowners Insurance Policy.
Whether it is acceptable for office staff not to wear safety boots on the shop floor depends on the nature of the activities in the particular shop. If there is a hazard to feet that can be reduced by wearing safety boots or safety shoes in the places in the shop where office staff would go, then they should be required to wear them. If not, not. It comes down not to law but to good management.
The Taft-Harley Act of 1947 outlawed the closed shop, which required workers to be union members before being hired, as well as the secondary boycott, which involved boycotting companies that dealt with a company involved in a labor dispute.

That is absolutely correct. Dram shop refers to any specific bar, restaurant or store selling liquor or alcoholic beverages and the Dram Shop Act means the full liability of those dram shop to the person who bought the product to them when something bad happened to them.
