Commentary:
As soon as alcohol is determined to be a factor in an accident, determining the whereabouts of the driver should be the next priority. Why does this even matter? Because if the driver had left a bar that over-served him, the bar can and should be punished right along side the driver. What does over-service entail? A bar cannot serve somebody that has symptoms of intoxication, or cannot serve somebody beyond the point of intoxication, and to do otherwise makes them potentially liable for any accident their customer causes, even if it only hurts themselves.
