Indiana\n- No one under the age of 21 years is allowed to consume, transport, or possess alcohol. But he/she is allowed to consume, transport, or posses alcohol when supervised by the parent or guardian. Something also interesting, no one under the age of 18 is allowed in tavern, bar, or other public place where alcoholic beverages are sold, bartered, exchanged, given away, provided, or furnished. But is allowed when the child is with a parent, guardian, trustee, or other person having custody of the child, and who is older that 21 years of age. This law does not apply to places like a sports arena, convention center, and etc. (the complete list is found at the given link below). Anyone under the age of 21 can not drive any motor vehicle with a BAC of .02 but less than a BAC of .08. For anyone 21 years of age or older can not drive if they have a BAC of .08 but less than a BAC of .15.

Will depend on local ordinance.Check first with local authorities and police.Even if you don't serve alcohol,You are still liable to all the rules and conditions by allowing consumpsion on your premises.Especially those that rules to protect minors.Beware that nudity and drugs are two sides of same coin

You are an adult.  Even the clergy are allowed to have a beer.  If you get fired, you'll be rich.  Unless its a condition of a contract you signed.  But then again, the burden of proof lies with the accuser.\n\nThis is off time for you.  And this is your private life.\nYou are not doing anything morally or ethically wrong.\n\nIf a parent gets pissed about this, remind them of that.

It differs from state to state. But you will probably be fined and the establishment may be fined also, have their liquor license revoked, or be shut down.

OK mom.  First of all don't make excuses for your son and let him suffer the consequences of his actions.  Second, each State had it's own laws and each of those laws has certain criteria that must be met in order to charge a person with that crime.  In Alabama there must be intent to commit another crime within that building in order for it to be a burglary (breaking and entering).  If that intent can't be proven then the appropriate charge would be some degree of criminal tresspass.    And by the way, the lack of a posting of a sign does not give anyone carte blanche to enter a building.  Hope it works out for you but most of all I hope he learns from his mistake.

you need to talk to the judge or original prosecuter. if he is under 18 years of age he is a minor and is still treated like one until he is sent to an adult facility.  could you please be more specific with your question. maybe you want to sue him in a civil court and you want him served with papers.  based on your question you know where he is.

Just so you know, I work for Loss Prevention at the largest retailer in the world, and I have seen small children taken away from parents who steal. It's considered child abuse in many areas.\n\nSo I think you're very right to warn him, especially since you have a little one. \n\n$20 or $40 is not worth your child. :(\n\nEdit: Also, as a Loss Prevention associate, we know that it is very common for theives to do things like hide the merchandise in diaper bags or that area beneath strollers. He could end up placing it there without you even realizing, and then you'd probably end up in even bigger trouble.\n\nI wouldn't say do something as drastic as leaving him, unless this goes on and on despite your feelings, but do yourself a favor and at least don't be there to take the heat. Make him shop by himself.

Dram Shop refers to establishments selling alcohol. The Dram Shop Act, in general terms, provides when the sellers of alcohol (say like a bartender or restaurant) will be civilly liable for serving alcohol to someone. Say, for instance, a bar sold a already drunk patron their 30th drink and the patron got in their car, drove and hit someone. The business owner can be sued by the victim.

I'm a 3rd year law student and I am going to say "yep". Generally speaking, tou can pretty much always sue someone for negligence (or an intentional tort). Plaintiffs just need four things: (1) Duty [to the child], (2) Breach of that duty, (3)Causation- "but for" this, that wouldn't have happened and proximate causation (see a lawyer for explanation) and (4)damages.  The question and issue in this case is going to be "Are the parents at fault for the child being in the drive thru and getting hit?" If so, this could lead to contributory negligence which, in some states, will totally bar any recovery for the parents. In other states, known as comparative negligence states, it will reduce the amount of damages the parents can recover---it just depends on the state. I would consult a lawyer to tell you the law of the state and to apply the law to your specific facts.

Probably. The bar is responsible for its patrons. If they are drinking too much the managers should not continue to serve them. There have been cases where patrons have left bars drunk, and have had accidents, and the bar owner is found to be liable.And yes the owners are in trouble.....and so are the bar's insurance companies.\n\n(And by the way, none of us are lawyers. If you want a good case study you can go to \nGoogle\nType in: " What are NJ laws Regarding Bartender Selling Liquor to a Drunk?"  \nThen hit "Search" Key\nYou will bring up a list of sources/sites.\nScroll to and CLICK:\n    "[PDF] WHETHER A SOCIAL HOST WHO ENABLES HIS GUEST TO BECOME DRUNK SHOULD .. (etc. etc )\n\nThis is a very good read and should help you with your project..\nand it does not matter where you live; the source should still help you.  There are other sites and sources also.\nGood luck

Check with you state's alcohol control folks. You can find out which department they are with by calling your state's Dept. of Revenue and/or Dept. of Licensing.

File sexual harassment charges, along with contacting the state labor department about him throwing your time card away to prove what you've worked. Keep track yourself...\nAlso, it is illegal for you to handle any alcoholic beverage under the age of 18. You can also notify the police about him selling the beer and how he's doing it.

contact the Bar Association in that state for a referral. You don't have to live in that state to sue in that state.

Legally - yes, if you are serving the alcohol you can be held liable for your guests action while he/she is intoxicated. For example, if he/she wrecks on his way home from your house while trashed, the victim of the wreck can actually sue you as well as the drunken driver

I am an attorney in California, but I do not practice criminal law.\n\nI strongly urge you to go to an attorney who specializes in DUIs. Your fiance has much bigger problems than worrying about whether the offense committed when he was 15 counts. To my knowledge, juvenile records are expunged, although you might need to request an expungement. The offense won't necessarily be counted, but if the record is not expunged, it will still show on the prior offenses, and the judge, though  not counting it as an offense, will take it into consideration.\n\nAside from the offense as a minor, because one of the offenses involved drinking under the legal age, and the subsequent offense was committed within 5 years.... did you know your fiance could go to jail for up to a year? It is a given that he will go to jail for at least 90 days. The law is very clear on this.\n\nOn a more personal note... you need to call of the marriage. You fiance is irresponsible and has a drinking problem. He is eventually going to kill himself or other persons. If you are married to him, in California, YOU could be held civilly liable for the actions of your spouse. YOU could lose your house, other property, and have YOUR wages garnished... not to mention possibly being the widowed mother of fatherless children.\n\nDon't go there.
