In another insane court ruling:

Basically, a beer vendor in a standium with 80,000 people is liable for the actions AFTER THE GAME of any of the fans they serve beer to.

Honestly, american courts are fucked.

Guy chooses to buys beer. Guy chooses to buys more beer. Guy chooses to gets drunk. Guy chooses to drive his car after the game, and as a result gets in an accident.

he settled with the family of the girl for $200,000.

How the heck can the beer vendor be more liable than the guy WHO DROVE DRUNK?

Don't be surprised to see beer sales stopped after the first half in the future... if anyone has the balls to sell beer anymore.
