“Is it your assertion that if a drunk kills themselves or someone else, the seller of the alcohol is liable?”
I believe bars/bartenders have been held liable when they continued to serve obviously drunk customers who went on to kill innocent drivers or do other bad things.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if that’s what happened? She gets to the airport sober, gets drunk in an airport bar with nowhere to go to sleep it off, then gets arrested for d&d and dies alone and unobservers in the airport’s “jail.”
I don’t really think bars should have to monitor their clientele that closely, and I think most of what happened to this woman was her own doing. But damn, they left an unstable person alone in a room with just enough resources to hurt herself.
If this had been someone’s dog hung with its own leash people would be up in arms.
There was a gas station in Carlsbad, CA a few years back that got hit for selling gas to a customer that drove off (drunk) and killed some folks. That's plain crazy.
