Pennsauken, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 12/03/2019 --With the holiday season comes an increased risk of drunk driving incidents on roadways throughout New Jersey. Intoxicated drivers aren't the only ones held responsible for causing accidents and injuries; party hosts can also be held legally liable if a drunk driver leaves their event and gets into a crash. The Camden County auto accident attorneys at The Law Offices of Vincent J. Ciecka, P.C. advise individuals who plan to host parties between Thanksgiving and the New Year's holiday to take precautionary measures to protect themselves and their guests from danger.
It's important for the host to set a responsible example by limiting his or her own alcohol consumption during the gathering and to keep an eye on guests and their behavior throughout the night. The host should have a plan in place for arranging rides for drivers who can't safely transport themselves home.
Rather than allowing guests to make their own drinks, those planning to serve alcohol at a gathering should consider hiring a trained bartender with knowledge of proper cocktail recipes to make drinks for guests. A professional bartender who refrains from drinking for the duration of the event will also be able to assess if guests are intoxicated and alert the host.
Additionally, hosts should be sure that food is served at the event to prevent guests from drinking on an empty stomach. A hearty spread of snacks and hors d'oeuvres can help to reduce guests' alcohol consumption in general.
