Frequently Asked Questions

If a patron is not driving, does it matter how many drinks s/he is served?

Yes. Massachusetts state law prohibits the service of alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated patron. It is still a violation to serve to an intoxicated person even if person is not driving. In fact, 12-20% of alcohol-related accidents involve pedestrians.
