Commentary:
I’ve said it a million times over, and I’ll continue to say so – states without adequate liquor liability laws and regulations need to quickly catch up to the states that have got with the progam and realized that holding bars, nightclubs, and liquor stores to a higher standard than they currently are in order to cut back on drunk driving accidents. In states with comprehensive dram protections, bars can be held liable for the accidents their customers cause when they fail to cut somebody off or refuse somebody service because of obvious intoxication.
