She ordered the drinks. She turned the key. She has to face the consequences.
A waiter or a catering company aren't babysitters.

I agree. I worked a late nite/after hours type bar. Every single person that came through the door was drunk already. But, it was "my fault" if they left that way. So confusing. People need to practice self control. Seems easy!

A business has a responsibility to the public. If your factory has a chemical leak and destroys the houses around it, it has to pay to rebuild them.
If your business has the capacity to produce drunk drivers who can mow down houses, you have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent it. If a person doesn't seem like they can hack another drink, you aren't supposed to give them one. Full stop.
That said, a person does have personal responsibility as well. If they choose to get drunk, and choose to drink until they can't have good judgement, they're still choosing to put themselves in that spot.
