What is the liability of a person who serves too much alcohol to an individual who is then involved in a drunk-driving accident?

The liability will vary from state to state (since the law varies, state to state) In some cases, the person will be considered negligent for aiding another in becoming intoxicated. In some states a law known as the Dram Shop Act may make a bartender (or bar) liable for a part of the damage done by a drunken customer. In other states, there is no liability on the server- only on the drinker.
