Commentary:
Whenever I see an alcohol related accident, I cant help but wonder the whereabouts of the driver before the accident, and whether they were drinking at their home, or at an alcohol serving establishment. What is the difference? In the State of Texas, there is plenty. You do not require a license to serve yourself at home, but whenever you go to a bar, that bar requires a license to serve you. In order to get that license, they enter a contract with the state that says they will serve alcohol responsibly. If a person is served an inordinate amount of alcohol in a short period, or is provided with alcohol despite their obvious intoxication, the bar can be held responsible for any accident their customer causes. This ensures both drunk drivers and the bars that fuel them are punished equally.
