Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A teenager attended a party at a neighbor's house. At the party, she consumed alcohol provided by the host, who knew she was underage. After leaving the party, the teenager caused a car accident that injured another driver. The injured driver sued the party host, claiming that the host had a duty to prevent the teenager from causing harm. Which of the following is the BEST explanation for whether the host had a duty in this situation?

  • The host had a duty to prevent harm because providing alcohol to a minor created a foreseeable risk of harm to third parties.

  • The host had no duty to prevent harm because social hosts are typically not responsible for the actions of their guests.

  • The host had no duty to prevent harm because the teenager's decision to drive was an intervening act relieving the host of liability.

  • The host had a duty to prevent harm if physical force was used to ensure the teenager consumed alcohol.
