Re: liability

If you don't own the establishment where it's going to take place, then you and your guests should be in the same position as any other bar patrons, and the establishment's owners and bartenders would be the ones responsible for insuring that anybody who appears to be too intoxicated to serve gets their drinks cut off. Though I don't think that you'd share any liability, as guests of the establuishment, it of course still wouldn't hurt for you to keep an eye on your own guests, too. Have a good time!
