For example, if a guest consumes their own alcohol at your party, becomes falling down drunk, and attempts to drive home with your knowledge of his condition, you may face some problems as that circumstance goes beyond what a "reasonable person" would do in a similar situation.
Ahem....he "ain't from around here are you boy"... and sued the SOBs....don't lose twice BK....get drunk before the party starts!
