Scenario:
T.O. Retailers, LLC, hosts its annual holiday party for the entire staff members and spouses\/guests, which includes approximately 250 people. The holiday party is held off-site and not on an employer-owned property, and takes place after normal working hours. In recent years, there has been about one incident a year wherein an employee drinks too much and becomes intoxicated. As a result, when the annual invite goes out to all employees there is disclaimer language at the bottom that is in larger and bold typeface stating that the employer does not condone excessive drinking and driving, and strictly prohibits any employee from being intoxicated during the holiday party. Additionally, there is language stating the staff of the facility hosting the holiday party, or any management of the employer, can restrict the service of alcohol to any employee who appears to be intoxicated. Intoxicated persons will be asked to leave the holiday party. Each year, the employer meets with the staff of the facility to explain the employer\u2019s policy about alcohol at the holiday party and requests the policy be strictly enforced. The employer pays for the entire holiday party.
This past year Diane had been suffering from vertigo, which the employer was aware of, and had recently gone on medication to help with the symptoms. Her new medication provides a warning not to drink while taking the medication. Diane is single and attended the employer\u2019s holiday party alone. During the holiday party, Diane became visible intoxicated and, at one point, a server of the facility staff refused to serve her. Later, she obtained a drink from another server, and a co-worker obtained another drink for her. Many people, including management, saw Diane visibly intoxicated. Diane left the holiday party and was involved in a car accident in which she was severely injured and injured the driver of the other car.
