Summary

The court held that Colorado's Dram Shop Act requires a social host to have actual knowledge that a particular guest is underage before the host can be liable for injuries caused by that guest's intoxication. Applying the statute's plain and ordinary meaning, the court concluded that "knowingly" modifies both the provision of a place to consume alcohol and the guest's underage status. The court affirmed the court of appeals' judgment affirming summary judgment for the defendants.
