courts...reluctant to impose liability on social hosts based on...negligence principles alone, without the support of express legislative policyFerreira v. Strack, 652 A.2d 965 (1995)
◇ Social hosts have sometimes been found criminally liable for serving alcohol to a minor or to an already usu. obviously intoxicated person, and have sometimes been found civilly liable for injury to or by an intoxicated minor. Less often, a person categorized as a social host has been found civilly liable for subsequent injury to a third party caused by an intoxicated adult guest, esp. in an automobile accident.
