Are there any exceptions to dram shop liability?

Yes, there are exceptions to dram shop liability in Arizona. Generally, dram shop liability is a type of law that holds a business (such as a bar or restaurant) liable for damages caused by a drunken patron. However, Arizona does have some exceptions to this law. One exception is if the person was not actually intoxicated but was only acting as if they were. For example, if a person is intoxicated but is still able to control their behavior, then the business would not be liable. Additionally, if the business did not serve the person or did not know that the person was visibly intoxicated, then they would not be liable either. Finally, if the person was already intoxicated when they were served, but did not become more intoxicated, then the business can still avoid dram shop liability. The key factor here is whether or not the business contributed to the person’s intoxication. If they didn’t, then they are not liable. In Arizona, dram shop liability exists in order to hold businesses liable for the effects of serving alcohol. However, there are still some exceptions to this law in order to protect businesses and ensure that they are not unfairly liable for damages caused by intoxicated patrons.
