If you’re hosting a party for Halloween, you should be aware of the social host liability law. This law exposes you to liability for anyone who is served alcohol under your supervision and who later injures themselves or another while intoxicated.
If your Halloween celebration does include alcohol, please remember to be responsible getting home. Taking a taxi, Uber, Lyft, spending the night, or carpooling with a designated driver are great ways to keep yourself and others safe.
There are also several regional programs that can get you home safe if you’re not able to drive.
- In the DC area, Sober Ride offers a carpool system to get you home.
- In Baltimore, click here to see options in your area.
- In Frederick, SOS Safe Ride can transport you and your car back to your house.
We hope that these resources and alternative activities help you have a fun and safe Halloween! Stay spooky!
