Does general liability cover liquor liability for a Georgia bar or restaurant?
Quick answer:
Standard general liability commonly excludes claims tied to serving alcohol. Under Georgia's dram shop law, a business that serves a noticeably intoxicated person can be liable when that person later causes harm (O.C.G.A. 51-1-40). A business that sells or serves alcohol typically needs separate liquor liability coverage, because the general liability policy will not respond.
