Practice point: General Obligations Law § 11-100 provides for a civil recovery against a person who knowingly provides alcohol to a minor, but only for parties injured by the intoxicated minor’s actions.
Practitioners should note that the statute does not provide a right of recovery for a minor’s injuries suffered as a result of the minor’s own intoxication.
