Having A Super Bowl Party? Tips To Keep You And Your Guests Safe

February 5, 2016 By John Torgenson

Super Bowl Sunday is upon us and since it is one of the biggest events of the year there are bound to be multiple parties and friends gathering with alcohol involved. If you are throwing a party for the Super Bowl it is important to note your responsibilities as a social host and what can happen if any of your attendees get into any trouble. If you are attending it is also important to note your responsibilities as well.

As your friendly neighborhood law firm, we understand the need to get a little rowdy with your friends but we want to make sure you do so with everyone’s safety in mind. So here are some tips for a safe party:

  1. Offer Food With Alcohol. If you decide to have friends or family over for the Super Bowl be sure to offer some type of food or snacks (never heard of a Super Bowl Party without food but I digress) so that attendees can drink judiciously.
  2. Designate A Sober Driver. Make sure you choose somebody to stay sober the whole party of you plan on going back home afterwards. If leaving with a few friends try playing rock, paper, scissors or pulling straws to figure who will be the DD. After designating the DD give them your keys to hold for the night.
  3. Set Up Uber Events or Have Cab Company Information. If you’re hosting you could be liable for any personal injury matters that may occur if one of your attendees decides to leave. Be a good friend/host and set up an Uber event code or call a local cab company.
  4. Intervene When Necessary. If one of your attendees are fully committed to driving after drinking call an Uber or cab on their behalf, take their keys, or call law enforcement for assistance. It is your job as the host to make sure your guests are not endangering the community around you.
