Underage Drinking

Tennessee Liquor Liability Attorneys -- Underage Drinking

Underage drinking is an epidemic. According to Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD), roughly 2/3 of high school students have used alcohol. SADD also reports 8.3% of underage drinkers purchased the alcohol themselves. In fact, most high school kids know where they can buy beer without an ID or the clubs that look the other way when minors order a drink.

To be sure, it is a crime to sell alcohol to minors. In addition, the Tennessee's Dram Shop Act imposes civil liability on bars, restaurants and clubs who knowingly sell alcohol to minors who then cause an injury or death as a result of their alcohol consumption. The restaurants, bars and clubs who knowingly sell alcohol to minors should absolutely be held responsible if someone is injured or killed because they have chosen profits over safety and responsibility.
