Liability Of Throwing A Party

Sharpie · 11-29-2002

As Internet companies emerge out of the wild wild West era......... it would be a good idea to start looking at liability issues. Many have way too much to lose to not carry good liability insurance. I have been surprised that something has not happened to date, to call this issue to the attention of many companies who are involved in sponsoring events that include drinking.

That is why the age for our shows is generally 21. It helps protect the sponsors from unknownly serving under age drinkers. It is certainly not a failsafe, but at least a step in the right direction.
