Linn v. Rand (1976): A friend served a minor alcoholic beverages in the friend's home. The minor subsequently drove a car and hurt a pedestrian who sued the driver's friend. The court decided that the jury should decide whether the host knew the minor would be driving, and thus, whether the host should be responsible in a negligence suit. The court declined to give social hosts any broad kind of immunity, and the court cited the public policy of curtailing "theever-increasing incidence of serious automobile accidents resulting from drunken driving."GENERAL RUL
