If liquor was being served to adults at a bar but then the adults gave their under 21 yrs old alcohol...?

Who would be held liable for giving alcohol to the under 21 year old if caught? The bar or the parents? Just wondering because they technically are drinking in a public establishment who is responsible for not serving drinks to people underage...

    No the bar is not liable if they can prove that they were not the ones serving underage people drinks. The only way they could get in trouble this way is if the kids were under 18 and ended up in hospital through drinking too much other wise they are okay

    First of all most bars don't allow minors in there in the first place. So the minor would be kicked out quickly.

    If somehow the minor wasn't noticed and was getting drinks from their parents, then the parents would be mainly responsible. The bar in your situation did not serve the drinks to minors, but to adults. The bar would only be held responsible if they knew about it and did not respond to it.
