You can be liable if your party guests get looped and kill or injure themselves or others on their way home. You could also be liable for underage drinking in your home. Check your homeowner's coverage for exclusions, conditions or limitations. You can limit trouble by offering your couch for the night or cabs for those who had one too many. Serve plenty of food, and limit alcohol.
