Almost any type of business that serves or sells alcohol can be held liable if they served alcohol to a person who was visibly intoxicated at the time and went on to cause injury and damage to a third party. Restaurants, bars, clubs, liquor stores, and private events like home or office parties can all be types of businesses liable under Dram Shop laws. If it is a private party, then the company or person(s) that hosted the party can be held liable.
