Funny thing, if the bar had continued to serve her and then she drove home, it is almost possible that they'd have a case. As it is, they cut her off and acted (semi) responsibly. If this case doesn't get immediately dismissed it'll spell some tough times ahead for the US hospitality industry

They didn't exactly cut her off.. She was kicked out of the building by security.

I don't see the difference..
They stopped serving her (same as a bar closing), then she drove home.

Not sure about elsewhere, but in Ontario at least it's illegal to serve someone who's drunk. It's a weird paradox, but those who serve alcohol are legally required to stop serving them.
The bar cutting her off and kicking her out is different from the bar simply closing for the night, as the bar stopping service to specifically her is respecting this law.

Even down here in America its a risky business, one of my local bars had their liquor license revoked entirely due to over serving, after not one but two occasions of drunk patrons leaving their bar crashed their cars and died. Theres definitely a degree of responsibility

Hey, fun thought. How about adults take responsibility for themselves? No one forced her into her car. Cabs are a thing.
I don't know if she has a license any longer, but I sure hope she retires before she gets it back.

Yeah, if I buy a case of beer, drink it all, drive around with my bike and take out my hammer and smash car windows with it, are the supermarket, bike store and hardware store responsible?

Maybe she has a license, but finding an insurance company will not be easy!

I believe she is still in jail.

What about guns? Does have the seller or manufacturer any responsibility? So why the bar has?

Try reading this and ask yourself if it makes sense to a person reading it in English.

I think I misplaced "have". But why the down votes? :/
bigsoftee84 t1_j5gguz2 wrote
Read it aloud. It doesn't make sense as written. It's also being downvoted because it's an unrelated issue. Most arguments for manufacturer responsibility that I've seen revolve around advertising and creating a certain image.

I don’t get it. They’re adults and know their limits and not to drive drunk. The bar shouldn’t bare responsibility for that

Thank you for that meaningful contribution to the conversation.

I'm trying to teach you the correct spelling. I feel that that is meaningful. It's only going to help you grow in the future.

Its not that i misspelled, i used the wrong form because i wasn’t really putting much thought into it. I’m aware of the different forms of there, they’re, & their, which one is possessive which one is a contraction, etc. its just not that serious here.
Again, you contributed nothing but being a douche.

Who's resorting to calling names?
And I would argue that it matters everywhere. Just because you treat this as someplace that's casual doesn't mean everyone else does. Not only are you showing your level of intelligence, but you are also showing your level of empathy toward those who are trying to help you.

And yes, I was trying. It's clear you prefer a life of ignorance.

Yup, and theres a difference between ignorance, which means not knowing, and simply not giving a shit. Life is much easier when you don’t care about small trivial things like punctuation on a reddit forum, of all things lol

The differences in one case the bar would keep serving her and so be partially responsible for what she might do if she's really drunk because they presumably in that scenario served her after they noticed she was drunk.
beefcake_sweepstake t1_j5ej6hp wrote
Yep, if she can prove they served her when she was already drunk she'll win this easy.
