Question: Does maliciously dumping beer on someone's head constitute assault or some other violation of the law?
Answer: Yes, if the person pouring the beer did it on order to hurt the other person, insult him/her or try to start a fight. A.R.S. section 13-1203 is the statute that explains what an assault is and A.R.S. 13-1203(A) (3) is the specific part of the law that applies to your question. Throwing a substance at another person is considered -touching- under this section of the law. See answer to question 5 under -violence- section of Speak Up to learn the punishment for assault.

I mean dear God man! Does the beer HURT?!?! Dumping beer is only a way to make YOU fight. Dumping beer isn't really a painful tactic! A little aggrevating but smelly...but not harmful.
