Adding a mini bar to our offerings - any thoughts?

[Sharon688]

I'm considering offering a mini bar in our airbnb unit but I don't want to run afoul of any California license requirements for the sale of liquor.  Has anyone researched this idea?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks, Sharon 688

@Sharon688  Bad idea. I am not familiar with California law, but if a guest gets drunk and has an accident, you could be charged as liable for providing the liquor. 

And how would you assure payment for the liquor consumed? You aren't a hotel, most of which have commercial liquor licenses and security staff to deal with intoxicated guests.

That's a good point Sarah977.  Thanks for the feedback.
