This weekend will be somewhat of a National Holiday. While not on the calendar, Super Bowl Weekend is about as functionally close to a National Holiday as it gets. When most people think about the Super Bowl, they think hard hitting action, explosive plays, great defense, and one heck of a half-time show. Of course, you will want to share this incredible experience with others and may consider throwing a Super Bowl party. The Super Bowl is among the most watched American television events of the year and is second only to Thanksgiving for U.S. food consumption. Along with food consumption comes alcohol consumption and those two come together in countless Super Bowl Parties. So what liability could you have if a guest at your party, who leaves intoxicated, gets into an accident and seriously injures someone? The easy answer is; plenty. While any party you may throw brings up social host liability issues, Super Bowl Parties almost always involves alcohol so it is a good time to review social host liability law. Social host liability arises any time you have guests, where they consume alcohol on your property and you let them leave when you know or should have known that they are intoxicated. If your intoxicated guest leaves your party and then injures themselves or a third party, including physical and/or property damage, you could be civilly liable for all those damages.
