QUESTION 1: Dunder Mufflin paper company now located in Oklahoma was having its annual holiday party in December. The party was held in the office and Dunder Mifflin provided the alcohol and refreshments. Meredith, a known alcoholic drank too much as expected. On the way home from the party, Meredith ran an innocent third party off of the road, who got badly injured. Meredith was uninsured so the victim sued Dunder Mifflin under the dram shop law. Dunder Mifflin responded in court that they were not liable under the dram shop law because they were not a dram shop but a social host, and therefore not liable to third parties. Dunder Mifflin's defense is valid.

QUESTION 2: A 70 year old woman named Bernice entered a liquor store with a 15 year old youth named Robert. The clerk could watch and hear all interactions between the two of them. Bernice asked Robert, "what kind of wine should we get?" Robert responded, "Merlot." Bernice retorted to Robert, "I'm more in the mood for white wine tonight, how about you?" Robert answered back, "You know I like red better but it's up to you." Bernice picked up the Merlot and proceeded to the register. Robert opened his wallet and handed Bernice a $20 bill. The clerk didn't know what to do so he asked for ID. Bernice handed him her ID and smiled. The clerk then asked for Robert's ID. Since Robert was 15 years old, he didn't have one. Bernice responded, "He doesn't need an ID, I'm the one buying the wine. Just take the money and give me my wine." If the clerk takes the money and let's Bernice and Robert leave with the wine, he will likely engage in illegal activity and risks lossing his license.
