Social host

A social host is someone who provides a location, such as a private residence or private event space, where alcohol is consumed by guests, even if they didn't supply the alcohol themselves. Laws often hold social hosts responsible for ensuring guests do not become intoxicated to the point of harm or for preventing underage drinking on their property. This means that if a guest is injured, causes damage, or becomes intoxicated at a social event, the host could face legal consequences, emphasizing their role in overseeing responsible alcohol consumption during private gatherings.
