In 18th century England, homemade gin-makers would sell alcohol by the dram (about a spoonful). When the King of England enforced a tax on the sale of gin, these gin shops went underground in an effort to avoid paying taxes. Today, the legal system recognizes any establishment that illegally sells alcohol to be a "dram shop."
The law holds all sellers of alcohol responsible for providing alcohol to minors or people who are visibly intoxicated.
Bars, sports arenas, liquor stores, or other providers of alcohol can be held responsible for damages if a minor or person already under the influence is hurt or causes harm to another.
