<< Doesn't Idaho have what I believe is called "Third Party" laws concerning
liquor establishments?  If a tavern serves alcohol to a person knowing that
they are intoxicated and that person commits an unlawful act as a direct
result of his/her intoxication, the tavern is also liable.

I am not certain, but I believe that Idaho has such laws on the books,
Please correct me if I am wrong. >>

This might indicate why so many of the conversations on 2020 seem 
circular.... or some such...

>From Mike Curley's post of 30 minutes ago:

"we might note 
that Idaho law relieves even the person who serves liquor 
of liability for the drinker's subsequent negligent acts 
unless he served to a minor or a person who was 
obviously intoxicated.  The City is not serving any alcohol 
at any of the functions on city-owned property.  The 
business that receives the temporary (alcohol) catering 
license is responsible, but only in those two situations."
