Commentary:
Should you ever find yourself in the aftermath of an alcohol related accident, I cannot stress enough how important it is to find out where the driver was drinking before the accident. What is special about this information? Well, when a person takes it upon themselves to drink alcohol within the confines of their own home, all the responsibility not to become a danger to yourself or others is on the shoulders of the drinker. If that very same person takes it upon themselves to consume alcohol at a bar or restaurant, the bartenders and servers now share that responsibility with the customer. Any time a person leaves a bar grossly intoxicated, the bar has failed to serve responsibly, as the drunk person now poses a danger to themselves and society at large. This is why a bar is potentially liable for this accident, and accidents like them, because they failed in their duty to serve in a responsible fashion.
