The Bouncer/Bartender who serve an underage person are subject to prosecution, and are liable if someone gets drunk and goes driving and gets into trouble.
We've had BCPs in place for some time on directed broadcast and ingress issues. I expect it will take lawsuits to get many people to get serious about implementing these. While it's up to lawyers and judges to decide if ignoring an industry Best Current Practice opens a company to negligence, I won't be surprised if I'm asked to testify for a prosecution in such a case.
