Remember that you may be held responsible if your guest is injured or harms another as a result of driving home from your house impaired. If you serve alcohol, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your guests get home safely.

Monitor your guests’ drinking. Just because they may not look drunk doesn’t mean they aren’t.

Injuries from falls, fights and vehicle crashes increase when alcohol is involved, so serve it responsibly when hosting parties. You’ll help keep everyone safe and reduce your risk of being sued.

For more information on your legal responsibilities as a host, visit the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario's (AGCO) website at www.agco.on.ca, or call LCBO’s infoline toll-free at 1-800-ONT-LCBO (1-800-668-5226) and (416) 365-5900 (Toronto).
