Under the Utah Dram Shop law, Any person who ives, sells,' or otherwise provides' liquor to another,'.. .and by those actions Causes the intoxication of the other person is liable for. injuries in person, property, or means of support to any third person or the spouse, child, or parent of that third person, resulting from the intoxication. In plain English: if someone is involved in an alcohol related accident, the person that sup-lie- d the alcohol is liahle for damages. Private individuals as well as commercial establish- ments are held equally responsible. . . . While giving a party during the holidays or any time of the year, hosts need to keep in mind that they shouldnt allow a friend to overindulge with alcohol. Giving a guest a cup of coffee to sober them ud isnt going to help. Coffee wont dilute the amount of alochol in the bloodstream. A glass of wine, a shot of whiskey, or one can of beer are all equivalent in their effect on the human body. A drinker weighing 160 pounds could reach a blood alcohol level of .05 percent in one hour by consuming 2 drinks. According to figures put out by the Utah Highway Patrol, this drinker should wait at least two hours before attempting to drive. At any given night in Utah, one out of five drivers has been drinking. In December of 1986 there were 40 alcohol related accidents in Salt Lake County alone. Two of these were on Christmas Eve and three happened New Years Eve. The National Safety Council reports that each property damage accident cost $800; each injury accident cost $5,500; and each fatality cost $135,000. six-oun- Only one New party blows out the ola andrmgs in the new with this Kind of oomph.
