Yes, the Oregon Dram Shop Act was passed in 1913. It was later modified, repealed, and replaced by O.R.S. 30.950, which is the current "Dram Shop Act." http://www.leg.state.or.us/01orlaws/sess0500.dir/0534ses.html

That is absolutely correct. Dram shop refers to any specific bar, restaurant or store selling liquor or alcoholic beverages and the Dram Shop Act means the full liability of those dram shop to the person who bought the product to them when something bad happened to them.
The Dram Shop Act is the ability to sue the person or bar that sold the drunk person that caused the injury.http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/dram-shop-laws-social-host-liability-alcohol-related-accidents-illinois.html
Dram Shop Act was created in order to force taverns (or those places serving alcholic beverages) to obtain Dram Shop Insurance. If one goes to a bar and ends up having an accident after drinking (off premises) then the victims will include in their MULTIPLE suit - the tavern. Their end of the payout comes from their DSI premiums - sort of like our Homeowners Insurance Policy.
Dram shop laws are established at the state level.
