Responsible Alcohol Service State Law Survey
Summary
This 50-state survey addresses alcohol service laws, including training for servers, happy hour limitations, prohibitions of sales to intoxicated persons, civil liabilities, and exceptions to such liabilities for vendors, social hosts along with notice provision, and laws relating to age and underage drinking. Highlighted issues include: (1) server training, (2) drink special limitations, (3) treatment of intoxicated patrons, and (4) civilly liable parties for the service of alcohol. This survey covers only state laws and regulations due to the lack of federal treatment of the issues in focus.
