Penalties Associated with Serving Alcohol to a Pregnant Woman

Only 18 states formally prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to pregnant

women.

Matt Eastridge and his wife, Meredith, who was six months
pregnant, were driving home on Oct. 29, 2010, when police say
David Huffman, who had a blood-alcohol content almost three
times the legal limit and was driving more than 100 mph,
slammed into their car. Huffman, 25, was leaving Eddie's Place
Restaurant and Bar in south Charlotte, where he had been served
at least 10 drinks.
 This month, a Charlotte jury returned a $1.7 million verdict
against Eddie's Place, finding that the restaurant was negligent in
serving alcohol to a person it knew or should have known was
intoxicated.
The first incident saw the death of Barbara Wood on the Liberty of the Seas, owned and
operated Royal Caribbean Cruises. The investigators and witnesses to the tragedy told
the media that Barbara Wood was leaving the ship’s nightclub, Catacombs, when she
fell while going down the club’s stairs. She hit her head on one of the steps and
sustained a massive head injury, resulting in her death about an hour later.
cruise passengers have able to bring lawsuits against cruise lines for not only over-
serving and essentially intoxicating them while on the ship, but also for intoxicating other
passengers who may have become violent towards them as a result of having been
served too much alcohol.

Multiple news sources are reporting that a 26-year-old American passenger aboard a

Carnival cruise ship fell to his death.  

The incident occurred on the Carnival Fantasy cruise ship.  The man apparently fell

The cruise ship docked in Nassau, Bahamas last night.  Its departure today was delayed
due to an investigation into the casualty. 

Bahamas police said in a statement today that the passenger was from South Carolina.
