Carniaval had “the responsibility ... to supervise and/or assist passengers aboard the vessel who Carnival knew, or should have known, were engaging, or were likely to engage in behavior potentially dangerous to themselves or others abroad the vessel,”

In other words, be a helicopter parent to each and every passenger, every waking minute. Yeah, that’s realistic.

So, everyone has their personal babysitter?

Yes, our legal system has gone off the rails along with everything else in Blue States.

the Doral-based company was found negligent for serving her at least 14 shots of tequila in an 8 1/2-hour period

That is fewer than two shots per hour. And there was a likely shift change in the middle. By the very end she would have had about six shots of Tequila left in her. Yeah, that's drunk for most women (not all), but probably fewer than 10% of the passengers on board. She should have had decent judgment about 3-4 hours into her binge.

This ought not to be surprising. Most states have laws and court decisions that impose liability on bars and restaurants for over-serving alcohol.

[Eli Kopter]

I guess 13 is her limit.

It is as you say.   The story says she went from one bar to another, on and on.   How could anyone keep track of the stupid woman all over the ship?

We were on Carnival once in the early ‘80s. It was spring break, and parents had dumped their cretin spawn at the port l. They HAD to be underage.

Anyhow, the were ripping mirrors off the public bathroom walls, creating disturbances everywhere, drinking to excess.

One of the group we were traveling with asked a kid to turn down his boom box. The kid refused, so our friend threw it into the ocean. That was great.

Only once on Carnival. Never again!
