A quick definition of dram-shop liability:

Dram-Shop Liability: This means that if a bar or restaurant sells alcohol to someone who is already drunk and that person causes harm to someone else, the bar or restaurant can be held responsible for the harm caused. This is similar to when a person has a party and serves alcohol to someone who is already drunk and that person causes harm to someone else, the person who hosted the party can also be held responsible for the harm caused.

A more thorough explanation:

Dram-shop liability refers to the legal responsibility of a business that sells alcoholic beverages for any harm caused by an intoxicated customer. This means that if a customer becomes drunk at a bar or restaurant and causes harm to someone else, the establishment that served them alcohol can be held liable for the damages.

For example, if a person gets into a car accident after leaving a bar and injures someone else, the injured party can sue the bar for dram-shop liability. Similarly, if a person becomes violent after drinking at a club and injures someone else, the club can be held responsible for any resulting injuries.

It's important to note that dram-shop liability can also apply to private citizens who serve alcohol to guests in their homes. If a guest becomes intoxicated and causes harm to someone else, the host can be held liable for any resulting damages.

Overall, dram-shop liability is a way to hold businesses and individuals accountable for the harm caused by drunk driving and other alcohol-related incidents.
