1Opinion of the Court
¶ 1. Aggrieved by the circuit court's judgment granting dismissal pursuant to Miss. R. Civ. P. 12(c), William and Sharon Bridges have appealed to this Court on the issue of whether a first-party tort lawsuit may be brought against the business which furnished intoxicating beverages to an adult plaintiff who voluntarily became intoxicated and was then injured by a third-party. Finding that the circuit court was correct in granting the Grand Casino's motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissing the suit, we affirm the judgment of the Circuit Court of Tunica County.
