Commentary:
While most people assume that alcohol related accidents are relegated to cars only, they also apply to boats, atvs, and aircraft. Furthermore, many states have 3rd party dram protections that hold bars liable for the accidents that happen when they fail to serve in a responsible fashion. This means they served somebody who was clearly drunk, or served a sober person far beyond the point of obvious intoxication. If the driver came from a bar where they were negligently served, both the bar and driver could be punished right along side one another.
