What Are Dram Shop Laws?

Some stores sell liquor by the dram or in a small amount. In an attempt to impose legal liability on these purveyors of spirits, legislatures and jurists throughout the United States have crafted a body of law known as dram shop laws. In general, these laws tie responsibility between the business that poured an excessive drink and the driver who drank to excess and, as a result, caused a car accident.
