Dram shop and liquor liability cases are difficult. Often people out drinking for the night visit numerous bars and restaurants. This increases the difficulty of locating witnesses and bar receipts. It also makes it harder to determine when a person became visibly intoxicated and which establishments are responsible.

While most dram shop liability cases are brought against bars and restaurants, any place that provides alcohol can possibly be held responsible for over-serving liquor. This can include social clubs, company events, and private parties. Liquor liability suits can also be brought against establishments that serve alcohol to people that are under age.

Employees of bars and restaurants should be trained to watch for common signs that a person is intoxicated, such as slurred speech and decreased motor function. However, profit and trepidation about angering a customer often prevent bartenders from cutting off services to clearly intoxicated patrons.
