Massachusetts does not have a specific statute allowing injured people to bring civil claims for damages against alcohol vendors. However, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 138, Section 69 does prohibit vendors from serving or selling alcohol to an "intoxicated person," and Massachusetts courts have held that a vendor who does so may be held liable for negligence in a civil lawsuit.
