1. “The Legislature by the enactment of Section. 60-10-16(A) [recompiled as Section 60-7B-1.1] imposed a duty on [a] “club, retailer, dispenser or any other person” not to sell, serve, give, permit to consume, buy, procure, service, deliver, aid or assist in giving alcoholic liquor to minors. Assuming that the plaintiffs can show that [appellees] breached this duty, and further assuming that plaintiffs can show that the breach of this duty was the proximate cause of the accident, then liability can be imposed. We adopt the standard of negligence used for the violation of a statute set forth in N.M.U.J.I.Civ. 15.5, N.M.S.A. 1978 (Repl.Pamp.1980) * * *.”
