I'm gonna have to agree with Moral Hazard, according to hospitality law, the establishment is liable for the guests. Of course there are different ways of interpreting the law, but the the bottom line is, if the bar is responsible for getting you wasted, they are responsible for your actions. It is up to them to cut you off after you had enough. Also, if somebody comes in drunk into the bar already and is served, the onus is up to the establishment to prove that they were not responsible. So, if you go to a bar, get wasted to the point of extreme intoxication, get kicked out and hurt yourself, you can sue the establishment for not cutting you off sooner. |
Wonderful. Can the bar sue you for drinking too much and not saying no to a drink? It should work both ways.
The bar should also sue you if you
1) start a fight or incident that is disruptive to the bar
2) assault a patron or employee
3) commit fraud by using fake ID
4) do anything else that causes them to lose their liquor licence or result in a suspension
As an employee id also like the ability to sue these people for lost wages as a result of a shutdown.
The law currently is very one sided. No wonder people want babysitter laws to coddle them into a false sense of security
