A few years ago US Air was found guilty, and liable, for serving alcohol to an intoxicated passenger who subsequently got in his car upon arrival in Albuquerque and killed several people on his way home from the airport. US Airways was fined and every flight attendant was required to learn N.M. liquor laws. They were prohibited (maybe still are) from serving alcohol on any flight arriving/departing New Mexico until all cabin crew had received the training. So, cabin crews are absolutely responsible for the alcohol they serve on board.
