Understanding Alcohol Impairment in Dram Shop and Related Cases

Gain a clear, science‑driven understanding of alcohol impairment and its role in dram shop litigation. This session breaks down how the body absorbs, processes, and responds to alcohol, using real‑world toxicology principles to illuminate impairment, timing of consumption, and behavioral indicators. Through an applied dram shop case example, participants will see how toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic concepts translate into meaningful legal analysis. The program also highlights what information toxicologists need, how to interpret alcohol test results, and how attorneys and investigators can collaborate effectively with experts. Attendees will leave with a stronger grasp of alcohol toxicology fundamentals and how to apply them confidently in casework.
