Beer vendor liable for drunk driver

selena - so you're saying I can drink a 12 pack in my house, get 1 beer at your place, and you're liable in IN?
I realize that giving a guy 8 shots and a beer was completely stupid. IQ of 4 would have figure that one out.
Why not charge the bartender and NOT the establishment.. besides the deep pockets factor?

I worked in bars for years, got cabs for hundreds of people. (3-20 per night)

Surprisingly MN may be ahead of the curve on this one, by figuring out the real story.. ie, drinks from home or outside.

ecchi - If one of my kids was killed, I don't think money would be on my To Do list

Was this a big town or a small one - because there is a difference?
Not that the girl died, but in the mentality of the residents. Where we now live, there is no taxi service, we're lucky to have plumbing.
